To prevent this sort of problem occurring here I added the following
comments to the start of our NPCONFIG file:
#=======================================================================
===
#
# NPCONFIG.PUB.SYS -- This file configures the networking and printer
# parameters for TCP/IP JetDirect spooled printers.

#
# Default values are used for the following items. Thus, they are not
shown
# as explicit items in this file.

# program_file = OUTSPTJ.PUB.SYS
# poll_interval = 10 seconds
# poll_interval_max = poll_interval = 10 seconds
# data_timeout = 10 seconds
# snmp_timeout = 5 seconds
# snmp_max_retries = 3
# tcp_port_number = 9100
#
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------

#
# Selecting which port to use on a '3 Port JetDirect EX' box:
#
# The tcp_port_number item is used to indicate which of the 3
available
# ports is to be used. Use a value of 9100 for port 1, 9101 for port 2
# and 9102 for port 3.

NPCONFIG needs no program to activate it. As Larry said, just stop and
restart the associated spooler.
