Hello Community

I wondering if you can offer any insight to a problem I am having.

I am using Windows 10 machines, connected via Wifi to a 1GB LAN.

On the LAN I have a Jetdirect 175x connected to an Laserjet 1025 printer via USB.

 

This is a new installation ( I know its older technology) and the problem is:

 

When I reset the JetDirect back to factory settings either one of 2 laptops will print the test page, but within 5 minutes the same laptop will get an error saying it cant connect to the printer 😞

From then on I cant print anything always gettign the "unable to connect" error.

Looking on the JetDirect page I can see that the number of TCP/IP connections refused increases depending upon how many times  I try to print.

I have tied adding both laptops to the access control list, but he problem still persists.

I have lowered the network down to 10 but still the problem still exists

 

On the server the power light is blinking constantly.

 

I have changed both the USB and network cables with known working ones.

 

My first thought is this a supported configuration?

If it should work any views on how I can get the configuration correct ( it is HP to HP afterall)?

 

Thanks in advance for any views

 

Johno
