  1. Hi Kevin, After going thru the steps you described, I am led to the conclusion that my computer is not recognizing the 455 on my network, as there is no MAC/Gateway corresponding to the AD listed on the label on the back of the JetDirect box. Could it be that my router is blocking this? I would connect the Jet Direct straight to my computer, except that I no longer have a crossover cable, which I think is required for a direct connection. Any thoughts before I go get a new one of those? Do you know of a comparable utility in OS9.1 which allows the lookup of IP addresses on a network? Thanks.
  2. Thanks Kevin. Still no luck. I do have an AppleTalk connection to my older Mac, and I can still print to the 455ca from that computer thru the router. I reset the router anyway, but no change. I have also looked for other possible IP addesses on network utility, as well as in System Profiler on the older Mac (G4/OS9.1), but none of those addresses worked. AAAAAAAAAAAH!
  3. Unfortunately, I'm still stuck. I tried both options listed in #3 above. I get some blinking of the activity light on the JetDirect (this is hopeful), but ultimately, nothing prints. Print Monitor indicates that it is attempting to connect to host..., and then that it is unable to connect to printer: Operation Timed Out Now you have me wondering if the IP address printed by the print server is somehow messed up.
  4. Thanks, Kevin I'll try following those steps (in the morning), and let you know how it worked out. BTW, the IP address did come by way of my JetDirect test print.
  5. Oops! Part of my reply above got garbled. For Queue name I entered Ip and then selected HP 455ca-CUPS+Gimpprint...
  6. Kevin, I seem to be stuck in the same place Trey was, except that I'm on OS 10.3.9 and am using a network router I have entered my Jet Direct EX's IP address (192.0.0.192) under IP Printing w/ Socket/Jet Direct selected. For Queue Name I have entered HP and the HP 455ca Gimpprint... The printer shows up on my printer list, but then nothing happens when I try to print. Do you have any idea what I might have wrong?
