No, they're both on the same side (: It IS petty brain-dead. Talks a hell of a lot of protocols, though. > make one of the working boxes your print server, and have it spool > for the Lexmark box? If I had a machine that was up all the time AND was working, I'd just do it from there. > hmmm. so why do you take down the other machines? One's my workstation which (A) Occasionally boots into Windows to play games, and (B) Hangs a lot. The other is Linux on my wife's machine, which I only did to see if it'll work. That box is usually Windows. I have since tried to get this to work on a SPARC/Linux box, but I get the same errors and symptoms (essencially, NOTHING gets sent to the network). > personally, my solution to this was to get rid of the printer, That doesn't really help. I just got this printer. I don't know what you have at work, but all I have is a colour laser. Colour lasers make great visio diagrams, but crappy photos. An HP Deskjet 3820 doesn't cost a lot and prints amazing quality photos if you feed it right. -Yaron --
