using a HP JetDirect for LaserJet III with Amiga
« on: May 19, 2008, 10:15:36 PM »
Hi,
now that i finally setup my old printer with my pc (win2k & +) to the HP JetDirect (C2071-D) for LaserJet III ( DLC / LLC type 2 802.3 protocol), I wonder if there is a way to use it on Amiga as there is no IP protocol just the MAC/Card address ?

Or should i find the special and hard to find Linux HP JetDirect (C2071-S) that should you IP protocol ?

That's what i think too.
In Win-XP, you need to download on M$ site the DLC.exe to support the protocol. It should also do the trick with Vista-32 bits.

Yeah no IP need, there is a kind of broadcast, no needed server too.
On the status, i found : Revision Firmware A.00.00   :lol:
But that's work very fast with all my pc..
Maybe I will have to perform a trick with the A2386sx (which has Win95a) to send data...

Failing that, is there a way for your router to forcibly assign an IP address to a MAC Address on the network?

I don't know, i have an Adsl Speedtouch 530 and a 10 Mbps hubs

Hi,
the IPX seems to be only avaible for the specific "Novel" edition of this card..
AS you can see here there is plenty of C2071...

I finally found one that support TCP/IP (C2071-S) :
Here on ebay USA
But the S+H is at least $65 in slow way (2 weeks), or $130 (1 week)... I know the HP box is very heavy and i don't need it for my collection, so if someone can buy it and send it to me, i'll pay with Paypal.
Many thanks all
