        I just grabbed this from the Native Mode Spooler Manual

        snmp_timeout              Amount of time, in seconds, that the spooler
waits for a
                                      printer status check to complete.  Default
is 5 seconds.

        You may have to increase the time out value to get status requests back
from those printers on the WAN.

        Okay, so I followed all the helpfule hints here and got network printing

        working just fine on the LAN (thanks, everyone).  Now I'm here at one of

        our remote sites trying to get a LJ4050N networked off the WAN.  Here is

        what I see on the console when I try to print to the networked printer:

        11:41/99/Output spooler, LDEV #307:  SNMP error SNMP_ResponseTimeout
        reported
        while retrieving printer status.
        Native Mode Spooler message 9656

        11:41/99/Output spooler, LDEV #307:  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


        I have no trouble printing to serially connected printers that are
        connected
        to the DTC here.  Can anyone give me some ideas on what to check and/or
        adjust?  Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
