There are two issues with the printer server feature. This is a very useful feature for the entire network to share one printer (without requiring any particular computer to be turned on). However, the Barricade firmware doesn't handle printers that sleep. If a printer is in sleep mode when the Barricade resets, the Barricade refuses to recognize the printer as connected. This is rather annoying because most modern Energy-Star compliant printers do sleep. Another problem with the firmware is that when you try to connect to it via the Unix lpr utility, the Barricade always wastes two pages of paper, one blank and one printing a banner. All email messages sent to SMC did not get any reply. The Barricade also refuses to recognize the number-of-copies feature of Unix-like lpr connection. This makes it difficult to print midterms and other documents in multiple copies.
Ik neem aan dat je dit al wist maar het eerste punt was voor mij genoeg om mij (deskjet) printer maar weer gewoon aan de parallelle poort te hangen, en dat is überhaupt ook voor serieus printen met een laserprinter een pittig minpunt vind ik. Misschien kan ook een firmware update nog wel iets helpen (ik heb hier de 7004abr lopen met 1.42.003).
..
I have tried this myself using my Canon Laser Printer, however, it cannot work at all, according to the technical support, the print server is not compatible with my printer. Therefore if you want to make use of this print server, I suggest you to email to their technical support to check the compatibility.
Het lijkt erop dat je GEEN geluk hebt...
