I had a similar problem with an HP4SiMx once. I had to upgrade the firmware on the JetDirect card to get it to work. It acted similar to what you describe, I could telnet into the printer, and get it to print from there, but I couldn't get a remote machine to get it to print. I don't know for sure that you need to upgrade the firmware, just thought I would throw that out there just in case. Allen Hyer System Administrator West Texas Rural Telephone
