problem connecting to print server - win2003 server

December 16, 2007

Just started a new server with win2003 small biz, and am trying to connect

to an older HP Jetdirect multiport print server.

I normally have used HP's INPW (something? Network Printer Wizard, whatever)

software in the past to create ports.

INPW can't see the pserver, even though I can ping it OK. I've tried both

specific IP and hardware addresses, no help.

On the same LAN, the same software on a workstation PC with WinXP can find

the pserver OK, and that PC has been printing thru the pserver for ome time.

I don't have Windows Firewall enabled at all, and an older PC on the LAN can

see a test file share on the new server.

I remember that the internet access part of the initial load/config asked

about inbound access from the internet, and I selected something to the

effect of no inbound traffic. I believe that this screen said that it

wasn't relevant to LAN traffic.

Any ideas what might be blocking the HP software?

Bill, I am trying to trouble shoot a problem where my XP computer finds the

print server and the printer fine. But the Vista computer will find the

server and printer and port, but will not connect.

How did you solve your problem????
