[SunRescue] [OT] Problem setting up Intel print server

[Ken Hansen]

I guess my resolution will have to be to ftp/tftp the proper
firmware into the box - I can't get their PC/Windows software to
install upgraded firmware.

The printserver shows up as there, but all the info is missing,
marked unknown...

Hrmph. Oh, BTW, I have another printserver (Intel NetPort
Express XL), three ports (2P, 1S) I'd give to anyone
interested - I don't have a power adapter, but it looks like
Intel will sell you one for $20-25.

Anyone interested? Please reply off-list...

I am running the same print server.  You will need to download
updated firmware from intel along with their webbased
configurator.  This can be used in either an intel machine or
solaris.  Once you configure the print server via either browser
using assigned ip address or via your client, it should run.
