I have been to the FAQ (thanks Chris) and I have followed the
instructions contained therein for setting up a network
(JetDirect) printer to the HP3000.  This is what I am getting:

:14:38/24/Output spooler, LDEV #4171:  SNMP error SNMPERR_GENERR
reported while retrieving printer status. Native Mode Spooler
message 9656

14:38/24/Output spooler, LDEV #4171:  Cannot communicate with
network printer. Check network xport config, NPCONFIG.PUB.SYS,
xport and links started status, intermediate network, and printer
status. Native Mode Spooler message 9662


Here is the setup:

#NPCONFIG 97 NOV 05
global    (
          message_interval = 60
          pjl_supported = FALSE
          jam_recover = FALSE
          )
4101      (network_address = xxx.xxx.xxx.99)   #Fort Erie
4171      (network_address = xxx.xxx.xxx.50)   #Hamilton
4172      (network_address = xxx.xxx.xxx.51)   #Hamilton
4173      (network_address = xxx.xxx.xxx.52)   #Hamilton

ioconfig:

ioconfig:lc
CLASSNAME   MODE     LDEV(S)
---------   ----     -------
NPHAMP01    out      4171
NPHAMP02    out      4172
NPHAMP03    out      4173
NPFTEP01    out      4101

ioconfig:

So?  What am I missing here?

Platform:

HP3000/935 OS MPE/iX 5.5 express 2

HPLaserJet II
HP JetDirect Ex Plus 3

ThinLan

We have multiple WinNT and Win95 configured on the same lan and
talking to the HP3000 via Win92 so I presume that the necessary
network services are started.  However, I will point out that
there is no mention of the necessity for this in the FAQ.  Have
I missed something?


Regards,
Jim
