- Greetings;
-
- Here is a strange one for you.
-
- We tryed to upgrade out laserwriter IIg's to the new proms version.
-
- When we did the basic "unplug old proms plug in new proms and move jumper"
-
- bit the printer came up just fine with the exception that we cannot
- see the printer or use the printer over the ethernet port.
-
- We re-installed the old proms, moved the jumper back and guess what?
- We still can't see the printer. NUTS!!!
-
- We used all the regular precautions so I do no feel it was somthing we
- did.
-
- Now the real bad news. Suspecting that the printer might have gone south
- for the winter we moved on to the next printer.
-
- New machine, new proms, same old problem.......
-
- Now we have two printers that do not work over the ethernet.
-
- So the big question is what could be wrong? How could proms mess up two
- machines in such a way that the old proms could not fix?
-
- Any suggestions?
-
- Thanks
-
- Dave
