Well, first off try ping-ing the printer. If you can't ping it then
you for sure can't print to it. If you can't ping it, maybe it's on a
different subnet and there's a routing problem somewhere??? Can you
ping any other computer on your internal network? If not then you've
got something set up wrong in your netowrking configs (or the network
is broken, not connected, whatever).
If you CAN ping it, then you ought to be able to telnet to it. if you
can telnet to it, it should show you some menus and allow you to look
at its properties, what's in the queue, etc.
if you can do those things, then it should be possible to print to it
if you hold your tongue just exactly right :^). The advice given you
by a previous poster looked reasonable to me, except that not being
familiar with that particular printer I don't know if it understands
PostScript (as the previous poster said) or not. I print to several
HP LaserJets at work, but they all use PCL5 command language, not
PostScript.
