We'll probably have to take this offline then. I checked the
connections and the "bad" machines are fully capable of pinging the
printer's IP. But attempting to print a test page consistently fails
for the "bad" machines (but the good ones are just fine).

> It's absurd.
Let's keep OT discussion to a minimum guys, and if they do happen, let's
try to keep superfluous posts to a minimum.
There's a lot of talent on this list, but they stick around because the
signal-to-noise ratio is low. If a discussion becomes off topic, let's
take it offline.
Thanks guys,
H
