7011.9LPS17 still doesn't work - more detailsADOV01::JARMANMon Jan 27 1997 23:2028
    Firstly, a quick apology - it is indeed an LPS17, not LPS17/600.
    
    We have tried to simplify things
    
    The network now has 4 things on it 
    - a 10BT hub
    - the LPS17 - hopefully cofigured as 10.0.0.200
    - a pc running NT4 server with the LPS kit installed. This pc is
    running IP (NOT DECnet) with the ip address of 10.0.0.201
    - a pc running as a sniffer. The summary and detail traces are included
    as the next two replies
    
    My interpretation of the traces is that the printer is doing a BOOTP
    request, the pc is responding with what looks like good answers, but
    the printer never does anything with the response. 
    
    Note that as there are no routers in our simplified network, we have
    attempted to manually write an arp table entry for the printer into the
    pc's arp cache, but it gets overwritten all the time
    
    Can anybody throw any light on this - the only thing we have thought of
    is that he printer is relatively old, and has thus far only been
    working in a DECnet environment, so maybe the printer itself is at
    fault (old firmware or something??)
    
    thanks
    Brian Jarman

7011.12suspect firmware revisionNECSC::HARVEYPrintserver Support- America's ZoneTue Jan 28 1997 22:1817
    Brian,
    
    	I have a LPS17 not a LPS17/600 that is booting from my NT 3.51
    server. I used ip addresses of 124.0.0.1 for my server and 124.0.0.2
    for the LPS17. It boots kust fine everytime. 
    
    The only thing was that I am running the latest firmware for the
    printer which is 2.1 version. To find what version your printer has
    just power it up and after the ethernet hardware address is displayed
    there will be 3 set of numbers displayed on the second line. The first
    number is the key firmware version.
    
    I would suspect your LPS13 is using the old firmware that will not
    allow it to boot from a NT server. The part number for the roms are
    23-251E8-00 for E19/ROM#0 and 23-252E8-00 for E24/ROM#1.
    
    Renis
7011.13THANK YOU!!!!!ADOV01::JARMANWed Jan 29 1997 21:049
    YES!!!
    
    The numbers it displays are 1.0 1.0 1.0 - I guess this means V1
    firmware
    
    I will chase up new ROMS
    
    thanks VERY MUCH
    Brian
7011.14New part numbers for the ROMSNECSC::HARVEYPrintserver Support- America's ZoneWed Jan 29 1997 22:028
    Brian,
    
    Glad that was it.
    
    Oh I looked up the rom part niumbers and the 2.1 version part numbers
    are 23-272E8-00 and 23-273E8-00.
    
    Renis
7011.15Correct firmware => life is wonderful!ADOV01::JARMANMon Feb 10 1997 23:556
    Just to close this out - MCS have upgraded the ROMs and it now works
    just like we expected it should
    
    thanks to all those who contributed
    
    Brian
7011.16REGENT::WOLFMon Feb 17 1997 14:0020
    Nice going Renis!!!!
    
    Just to fill in the blanks, here is why the latest firmware is
    required (and here is why it is crucial and reporting an outage to
    INCLUDE the firmware and software version numbers in the outage along
    with the correct product model number).
    
    Because of architectural limitations of the operating systems, the
    Novell, WNT and W95 kits perform the primary bootstrap differently
    then do the U*IX kits as follows:
    
    The printer broadcasts a bootp request
    ****The boot host responds with a bootp reply that is broadcast***
    In version below V2.1 on the LPS17 and below 3.8 on the LPS20/32
    the printer DOES NOT LOOK FOR A BROADCAST reply. This is why your
    printer failed to boot.
    
    I am glad Renis was able to get you up and running..

7011.17What about the driver problemSHRMSG::HOWARDBenThu Feb 20 1997 19:203
    Any idea why the LPS17/600 driver won't boot it?
    
    Ben
7011.18Its differences in booting methodsNECSC::HARVEYPrintserver Support- America's ZoneThu Feb 20 1997 20:3213
    Ben,
    
    	Based on Jeffs earlier reply the old 1.0 firmware would have booted
    from a plain unix platform. However the NT and Netware environments use
    a different method for responding to the printers boopt requests. The
    supported firmware 2.1 version supports this new booting method.
    
    	This would be the same for the LPS17s big brothers, the TurboLPS20
    and LPS32 printers. To boot from the above platfoms the supported
    firmware is 3.8 version. The part number to get the upgraded firmware
    is LPS2X-FW.
    
    Renis
7011.19lps2x-fw can't be orderedCSCMA::SMITHTue Feb 25 1997 15:445
    lps2x-fw should be the correct firmware number, but it can't be ordered
    for some reason (I wish I knew).  You must get it from field service
    (23-276E8-00, 23-277E8-00), this is for the lps32, lps20 turbos.
