Printer on thin client network--says it's working but isn't

[Ben Francis]

David,
Is ICMP disabled? It would explain being able to receive an IP but unable to
ping.

$ telnet <printer ip> <printer port>

is a way to test. HP network printers have telnet built in.

By the way, is 192.168.0.1 the IP of the server or the printer? It seems
like a server address to me. You should be able to set a static IP address
on the printer through
telnet<http://www.cd-mp3.net/articles/18487-How-Do-You-Telnet-Into-HP-Printer.html>
or
the printer's menu.

Your project is great. Good luck.

Ben
