With the power off, you may try removing the EIO card (two screws) and the reseat the card.

If that doesn't work, what's a good replacement network card for the LaserJet 4100? Thanks for all the guidance. It really helps speed up the process.

Also, I'm not sure whether it's my imagination or not but, last night, there was a Windows update and the Print dialog box seems to open without delay. I'll wait a few days and see if the delay comes back.

Is this a second hand card? These cards were assembled with cold/low temp solder and they are well known to fail because of this particular solder. You can try to bake the JetDirect card in an oven at 400F for 5 minutes (propped up on 4 screws) and see if the card comes back to life. No kidding, this works on about 95% of these dead JetDirect cards, I had this same problem and it worked for me. Read the thread here: http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/forums/laser/47177 John

Read the thread here: > > http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/forums/laser/47177 > > John Thanks (Guru John), I bought the printer used from a shop. The JetDirect card came with the printer. At first, I assumed that it was a JetDirect 610N because the driver CD's JetDirect Manual (hpjdagen.pdf) is for 610N. But, the Configuration Page that came with the printer says that it's a J6057A (or 615N), which I now believe it to be. And, will be able to confirm this when the JetDirect card is removed. Hmmm ... I'm not sure what exactly "propped up on 4 screws" means. Is there a photo? I don't want to mess up.

Before you stick the card in the oven remove the plastic bezel as it may discolor or melt in the oven. The card should be elevated so as to not rest on any surface as this may dislodge some of the small soldered pins from their holes. You also want to keep the card level so that the solder doesn't flow to one side. There is a small hole at each corner of the card, you can just use small sheet metal screws 1 inch long or so and just engage them by one thread or so in the small holes, just enough to elevate the card and keep it level while it bakes. It's best to use oven safe glassware or Pyrex dish to hold the card, a metal cookie sheet or the likes may twist or 'pop' up at one corner when heated and this may jar the card or cause the solder to flow away from the pins, glassware will stay level and it will not suddenly 'pop' when heated. If you don't have oven safe glassware you can use a cast iron frying pan or something else that will stay level and not pop up when heated. Preheat the oven to 400F then put the glassware holding the card in the oven and bake it for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes turn off the oven and open the door and let it cool down, you don't want to slide out the oven wire shelf and rattle the card or handle the card when it is hot, this may cause the solder to flow away from the pins or you may dislodge things while the solder is soft. Open the door and don't touch anything and let it cool down to allow the solder to solidify properly before you handle the card. And if it doesn't work... well the card doesn't work now so there isn't much to lose giving it a try, it worked for me and many of the others who posted on the forum. John

You all don't know how BADLY I want to pull that card out and bake it ASAP but can't due to a project deadline. :-) It's probably for the best so that I can think carefully through the process. All the plastics (bezel, connectors, etc.) is exactly what I wondered about last night. So, I was thinking of taking a conservative, focused and progressively hotter approach, especially since I don't have the proper equipment. As soon as I can, I'll probably try the hair dryer method first.

I have "manually" set the IP address. And, here's my router ...

I suspect that "manually" setting the IP address is conflicting with the DHCP server? And, I need to configure the router with the static IP address. But, how?

Also, I was reading the following ... http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t225657-p2-dhcp-and-static-ips-through-a-router.html and thought that this router's DHCP server may have issues with some static IP addresses. I may try using dynamic IP addressing for the print server as well.

I have used the BEFSR41 (and BEFSR81). I think it is a 10/100Mbps Auto-MDIX issue and choosing the speed. Thus my suggewstion to force a non-Duplex 10 or non-Duplex 100Mb/s connection so the Router and P-Server don't get into a hand-shaking competition. -- Dave Multi-AV Scanning Tool - http://multi-av.thespykiller.co.uk http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp

But, I meant there may be a compatibility issue with static IP address from TRENDnet TE100-P1P print server. Also, I have set the TRENDnet TE100-P1P print server speed to LOW (from HIGH) but still no luck.
