The only server OS that HP supports printing thru queues is Netware. They do not support printing thru Windows Server OS print queues. On a Windows network HP only supports direct IP printing. I found this out a few years ago when trying to resolve some issues at a large CPA firm we had just migrated from Netware to AD. I was shocked to find out that HP didn't support printing to an HP networked printer thru a Windows print queue. The only way we got it working was to have a dedicated print server and install all print drivers fresh with no kernel mode drivers.
Lots of people have no problems printing to HP network printers thru Server based print queues it is just that you will get no support from HP when you do run into problems. Webster From: Tom Strader [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Color Laser Printer recommendations?? Eric, What's their reasoning behind this? I have a 2600 and a 3600 setup in several locations as a network printer with no problems at all. What the heck did they put the network card in for if its not suppose to be a network printer....Duhhhhh? Not meaning the "Duh" part towards you Eric!! Tom _____ From: Eric Woodford [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: OT: Color Laser Printer recommendations?? We had been recommending the HP Color LaserJet 2600n, up until we found that HP does not suggest setting it up on a Windows print server. "Set everyone to print to the IP address directly", HP said. This makes management for mid-size departments difficult. What do you suggest for a mid-size network-able color laser printer? Needs to accommodate 5-20 users (200-500 pages?) on a daily basis. Priced between the $300 - $2,000 price range. Would like to stay with HP, just because they have a decent reputation in the company, but appreciate all suggestions!!
