This article contains information on using a Hewlett-Packard (HP) JetDirect
card to allow an HP LaserJet to talk directly to the network when there is
more than one NIC in the server to segment the LAN.
MORE INFORMATION
When there are two or more network interface cards to segment the LAN, the
HPRDIR talks only to one of them. The Remoteboot protocol COMTOKR can be
bound to all cards. Only printers connected to the first NIC with COMTOKR
bound to it will print; but HP LaserJets with JetDirect cards installed and
connected to the server through other NICs in the server will not.
ExampleFor example, the server has two IBM token ring cards and one Ethernet card. COMTOKR can bind to up to eight NDIS drivers--either Ethernet or token ring.PROTOCOL.INI; Note: NetBEUI and/or TCP/IP sections omitted here for simplicity. [COMTOKR_XIF] drivername = COMTOKR$ bindings = "IBMTOK_NIF", "IBMTOK2_NIF", "ELNKII_NIF" [IBMTOK_NIF] drivername = IBMTOK$ [IBMTOK2_NIF] drivername = IBMTOK2$ [ELNKII_NIF] drivername = ELNKII$ | Article Translations
