https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/intermittent-printing-problems/m-p/3649127#M85647 Hi there --<BR /><BR />I have an HP 5550dtn attached to our network and am trying to configure our Fedora Core 2 workstations to print to it. <BR /><BR />The printer has a static ip address assigned to it and its JetDirect card is configured to run at 100 Mbps.<BR /><BR />I have gone to the linux workstations and as root have invoked the setup utility to configure the connection to the printer. I have provided a queue name and selected jet direct as the network connection method. I then entered the ip address of the printer and kept the port number at the default 9100. When it came time for the driver selection, I chose HP, scrolled down to the Color LaserJet 5550 entry, and then picked the postscript driver associated with the printer. <BR /><BR />When I do a test page to the printer, there are intermittent problems occurring: Sometimes the jobs get printed, othertimes they do not get through. Also, another workstation was initially able to print, but for some reason cannot print. If I reboot the printer, that sometimes helps with the jobs that were stuck in the queue, but that does not completely resolve the issue. <BR /><BR />Has anyone got ideas on what is wrong, and what I need to do? Thanks. <BR /><BR /> Thu, 13 Oct 2005 14:33:19 GMT Andrew Kaplan 2005-10-13T14:33:19Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/intermittent-printing-problems/m-p/3649127#M85647 Hi there --<BR /><BR />I have an HP 5550dtn attached to our network and am trying to configure our Fedora Core 2 workstations to print to it. <BR /><BR />The printer has a static ip address assigned to it and its JetDirect card is configured to run at 100 Mbps.<BR /><BR />I have gone to the linux workstations and as root have invoked the setup utility to configure the connection to the printer.
