What's the "status" page show you in terms of networking? Does it tell you if TCP/IP is configured, or give an IP? IIRC, on the HPLJIII, you can walk through the menus on the onboard display to set up networking -- you've got an LED display on the right hand side of the box? HP's online info is pretty good. Not awesome, but reasonably decent. Don't bother IMO with their phone support -- for starters, they never sold you the system in the first place. For one of their older DeskJets, the networking reset keypress was to restart the printer while holding the "Online" button. -- Karsten M.
