1951.0. "network printers over FDDI" by OTOOA::YOUNG (STEVE YOUNG @OTO) Fri Feb 09 1996 14:34

    We have installed an FDDI (DEFT-UA) card in our alpha 2100 vms 
    box. We are setting up printer queues on this box. The queues that
    work off the terminal server work fine, but we have a number of
    printers that have a network card installed. The card installed in
    these printers is the NETjet card. They run over LAT. We can't seem to
    print to these printers with the network card in them. I know lat is
    working fine since I can set host/lat onto our other boxes. The queue
    constantly goes into a "stopped state" and the printer, in this case a
    hpIIIsi" gives an error message relating to the MIO (network card). Has
    anyone else run into a similar problem?
    
    Thanks

    Steve,
How are you getting from FDDI to Ethernet ???  Are you using something like 
a DECrepeater900TM ????

A little more network information would help, please.  And Version of VMS, 
too.

1951.2More Info FDDIOTOOA::YOUNGSTEVE YOUNG @OTOWed Feb 14 1996 13:5510
    We are running VMS 6.1 on an Alpha 2100 using an FDDI card connected 
    to a DEChub 900/900MX fiber conncentrator module.Ethernet is supplied
    to these printer network cards from a 900TM module.
    Just a bit more info-We are also experiencing the same problems with
    the networked printers with XJet IV  when we set up a queue
     on our Alpha 4000 running OSF.
    
    Thanks
    Steve Young
