Hi,
I'm trying connect to a printer on our network that is connected to an hp jetdirect 300x print server. The way I went about trying is like this:

1. Tried adding a local printer and creating a standard tcp/ip port to connect through.
2. The wizard then asked what kind of device was connected so I chose HP jetdirect
3. The following is the information that the wizard shows:
SNMP: Yes
Protocol: RAW, Port 9100
Device: 192.168.0.230
Port Name: 192.1668.0.230
Adapter Type: HP Jet Direct

4. The printer I am trying to install is a Richo Aficio 450/455 PCL so I chose that as the printer to install After that it seemed to install fine, however when I try to print a test page or any other document it never prints.

I know that the print server is set up correctly because several people use it everyday, but here's the setup anyway:

IP: 192.168.0.230
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Defauly Gate: 192.168.0.10
Base Port: 10000

Under DHCP the IP address in NVRAM is selected

Any help would be great but it's not URGENT since it can be accessed by sharing.

Thanks.

Do you have a firewall that could be blocking its IP address?

No, sorry I forgot to mention that there is no firewall...

Do you have the driver disk for that printer?

No, I'm afraid I don't have the disc... or at least I can't find it. I just chose Ricoh Aficio 450/455 PCL from the list when it asked which printer I was trying to install...
