Xerox DC 400/350/250 PCL 6 Printer offline

Hi alan,

yes, the laptops are connected to the server 2003 but when i started t
check the printer it has its own IP address, i dont know what it mean
but i think the printer can stand on its own. i suspect it might be th
driver? its not compatible with vista? the printer is already old and
cant find the updated driver on the xerox site.

Regards!

that's possible. Xerox has some software that will actually hit the printer
before sending a job to the printer shared on the server.

Normally MS disables this feature on the Printer Properties Configuration.
Bi-Directional Setup. If you can disable this on the print server, the
client won't attempt to communicate to with the printer.

I doubt it. If the notebooks are running a wireless network this could be
the issue with connectivity.
