I am trying to avoid using Standard TCP/IP port because that will invoke SNMP. For some reason, MS decided that if standard is used, it will also try to talk to the device via SNMP. I already tried 9100 and RAW. Also tried 515. I have asked the printer owner to determine if any changes were made to the JetDirect. adam "Richard" <richardwbb@gmail .com> To Sent by: <thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> thin-bounce@freel cc ists.org Subject [THIN] Re: OT - printing across the 09/14/2005 12:25 internet PM Please respond to thin@xxxxxxxxxxxx g When you use a standard TCP/IP port, Windows sets it to RAW, 9100 which is correct. So probably the (printing) signal leaves your network on port 9100 but on the other side it is likely to be blocked by the router and or firewall.
