SMC Barricade Print Server

[bluearchtop]

I have the Barricade Router w/ Print Server and can't get it working with my Xerox Docuprint P8. Is it working for everyone else? Their support people were clueless. I selected the PRTmate port and it looks as if everything is OK (spools, queues, etc) but nothing ever gets printed out. My router admin shows the printer as ready too. Hmmm...

mines is working perfectly, just a quick question did you try and hook the printer up with parallel cable to check if its printing? this is another stupid question but is your default printer set up correctly? hehehe one last try is to reinstall the print server driver. I hope this helps.

I have SMC also. my HP Deskjet 855c works great with it. It did take me a while to get it to work though. I had to reinstall the driver few times to get it to work. I also heard few posts about not all printers work with printer function on the SMC. I could be wrong, if so somebody correct me.

good luck

Mine works too.

NEC superscript 870 i think.

I must be a lucky one with an unsupported printer - oh well. Yeah, it prints fine direct, and i've reinstalled several times, etc.

Thanks though.

The Barricades don't support bi-directional printers. If your Xerox
printer needs two way communication, it won't work.
