Sure. were it not for the absolutely completely vulnerable to attack
aspect of that SHIT OS, I would agree.

But I think you know very little about security.


Never had a virus in here in over 10 years. A friend (realtor) with
professional IT support on the other hand ...

XP was very vulnerable and Microsoft didn't want to continue patches for it.

I suspect that your printing problems in Win 7 are related to security
issues. I used a print server on Win 7 that uses a standard TCP/IP port
and it worked just fine. Since my printers all now have Wi-Fi I gave it
away. I was using a 20th century parallel port laser printer until about
six months ago.

While Microsoft did a very good job on Win 7 with regards to printers,
my complaint was that a much more recent vintage HP USB scanner was no
longer supported in Windows 7. Works fine in the latest Linux versions.
Even the XP VM on Win 7 did not work with the scanner.

Try the third party Hamrick (sp) driver it might work for you.

HP are rather annoying about orphaning old very well built hardware with
no support on more recent OS's. Happened to me with XP->Vista too.

You might look at VueScan:

$40 for 4 machines with updates for 1 year. Works well on Windoze 7
at one of my customers, but I haven't tried it.

They also ditched my super-simple web cam which always could run
driverless on XP. It no longer works on Windows 7 so I had to buy a new one.

Just imagine: You buy a new car to pull your trailer. Then you discover
that the engine will not start unless the trailer is a newer model
equipped with anti-lock or whatever. No error message, it just won't
start. After lots of research you find out why and that there is likely
nothing that anyone can do about it. So now your existing and still
pristine trailer has become worthless to you. This is what Windows 7 does.

However, since Windows 7 downloaded a HP 5L driver from their own server
to my PC and it installed correctly one should rightfully assume that it
was tested for compatibility. Well, maybe not these days anymore ...

I can vouch for VueScan precisely for the the reasons above since I have
a CanoScan FB630U.

Paid a one off licence [unknown number of years] ago and sill get updates.

No dice. Tried it. It saw the scanner but said that no driver was installed.

"VueScan uses a plugin library that's installed with the HP drivers to
talk to this scanner, and doesn't work with this scanner without this
plugin library."

HP does not offer drivers for the scanner for Windows 7 or 8. Hamrick
doesn't supply drivers they just have a scanning application.

Not sure if it's HP's fault for not updating their drivers for new
operating systems or Microsoft's fault for not supporting older
peripherals that only have drivers for XP. If I really want to use that
scanner now I either hook it to an old XP laptop or boot Linux where it
works just fine. Actually it's no big deal since I replaced my Freecycle
HP Laserjet 4MP with a Canon MF4800DW which includes a scanner/copier.
$119 well spent.

Microsoft has been very good about supporting older printers, i.e. I was
using an HP Laserjet III on Windows 7, as well as an HP Laserjet 4MP
with both Windows 7 and Windows 8. They worked both with a very old
wireless print server and via a USB to parallel port adapter.

I got the HP 4MP on Freecycle because someone didn't know how to use it
on a computer without a parallel port. I even told him how to do it
before I took it but he didn't want the laser printer anymore, he wanted
a color inkjet.

The HP5L works just fine with Windows 7 as I'm sure you're aware if you
tried connecting it directly to the computer, either with a USB to
parallel port cable or if the computer had a parallel port card added to it.

The problem is not in Windows 7 support for the 5L, or even older HP
printers, it's something with setting up TCP/IP ports that connect to
the SMC Barricade Router. It's probably related to something blocking
the TCP/IP port that was created, or some error in the TCP/IP port
configuration.

This is the print server I was using a Laserjet 5MP under Windows 7 (and
8) with:
<http://www.dlink.com/uk/en/support/product/dp-g321-high-speed-2-4ghz-802-11g-wireless-multi-port-print-server>.
Since it worked both with USB and parallel printers for which I had
created TCP/IP ports for under WIndows 7 and 8, clearly both of those
operating systems support printing via a TCP/IP port. The configuration
for the TCP/IP port, for that print server, is here:
<http://oi58.tinypic.com/de8mps.jpg>. This is a very old print server,
it came out in 2004. I think the SMC Barricade you have is from around 2001.

There aren't any parallel port print servers still being made. The used
D-Link models are around $50 on eBay (I gave my old printer and print
server away on Freecycle). Considering that a Brother HL-L2340DW sells
for $80 I would not spend any more money on getting the 5L to work. I
got the HL-2270DW (previous generation) for my daughter to have at
college and it works well. Replacement after-market toner cartridges are
cheap, or you can refill the included starter cartridge.

Refilling the TN420 starter cart requires the installation of some
parts to convert it to a regular TN450 cartridge. If you refill
without these parts, the printer will declare the cartridge to be
empty while it's still about half full.

Right, the place I bought the toner from also sold the flag gear to
convert the starter cartridge to a regular cartridge. But now there are
after-market cartridges as well at reasonable prices, though one I
bought from Monoprice was terrible.

I buy quite a few TN450 carts on eBay, mostly for customers that I
armtwisted into buying Brother MFC-7360n AOI printer/copier/fax/scan
machines.
<http://www.staples.com/Brother-Refurbished-MFC-7360N-Laser-Multifunction-Printer/product_424336>
I don't mind refilling a few carts here and there, but when customers
dump off 20 at a time, it's too much. The cost difference between a
$15 eBay cart, and a $5 bottle of toner is just not worth the
exercise. What I do is buy one cart from a vendor and test it
immediately on arrival. If it works, I buy 10 more. If not, I
request an exchange. I always explain what I'm doing, which seems to
result in a dramatic improvement in quality. Oddly, many of the
failures I've seen are the result of the carts not being reassembled
correctly, which is easily fixed.

Incidentally, the DR-420 drum has a limited life if not kept clean.
Officially, it's 12,000 pages. With about 2,500 pages per cartridge,
that's a drum replacement every 5 cartridge changes. You can reset
the drum life page counter, and just keep going, but if you see
vertical lines and smearing near the left/right edges, it's time for a
new drum.

Also, you can squeeze about 100 more pages out of a Brother toner cart
buy putting opaque tape over the cartridge windows. The printer will
think the cartridge is full.

Footnote: I tried to convince Joerg to abandon his Barricade
router/print_server, but failed. Much as I like to do everything
possible to avoid eWaste, this is one product that is not worth
saving.

Either the printer or the router needs to be abandoned. But I am
surprised that it doesn't work because printing to a TCP/IP port usually
always works. Must be an issue with the queue name or the TCP/IP address.

The Barricade only supports LPD/LPR printing and has a fixed queue
name of LPT1 (must be upper case and no colon). I had a bit too much
experience with the piece of junk when configuring SCO Unix Open
Desktop clients and servers. I don't recall the exact problem, but do
recall spending far too much time getting it to work. I eventually
came to the conclusion that something was wrong with the SMC LPD/LPR
implementation. To the best of my rapidly failing memory from 13
years ago, the router did not support HPNP printing (port 9100), ftp
printing, telnet printing, or other kludges, just LPR/LPR.

LPR is fine. Set the queue name correctly and the TCP/IP port address
correctly and select LPR. On the D-Link print server it was the same
deal--but with a queue name for each of the three ports that you set up
with the D-Link utility and was changeable but once the name was set up
you could use the same name from any computer so even if the utility
didn't run on Windows 7 it would not matter--I never modified the names
after I set them.

It's one of the reserved names.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247.aspx
Do not use the following reserved names for the name of a file:
CON, PRN, AUX, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8,
COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9.

LPT1 should have worked as a device name for a named pipe, but my
guess(tm) is that something broke when used as a print queue name in
Windoze 7. SMC could have used any other queue name and it probably
would have worked, but instead chose to use a reserved name and then
offered no option to change it.

Here's a collection of LPR/LPD print servers and associated queue names:
http://www.brooksnet.com/content/faq-lpd-queue-names-network-print-
servers
Note that none of them use reserved names for their queue names,
although some do append something to a reserved name, which is
acceptable.

You might try juggling firmware versions. Some of the earlier versions
appear to have fewer bugs than the later releases:
http://users.skynet.be/luc.pauwels/luc/smc/firmware_bugs.html
Looks like earlier versions are not available from SMC.
http://www.smc.com/en-global/download/index/4
Looks like there's some alternative firmware available:
http://www.kataan.org/barricade/

Would it help if I just snail mailed a better print server to you? You
pay only the shipping. However, it will need to wait a week as I just
caught a cold or flu.

He should still be able to configure the handoff using MS' "NET USE"
aliasing/redirection functions.

NET USE HELP will tell you more. (in a DOS VDM)

Good plan.

Read this where the person named the print queue as "lp" for a different
machine:
http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20020930060410464>.

Interesting article. I read the reader comments and noticed that one
person said to use "lpt1" instead of "LPT1". I've been proclaiming that
the queue name should be all upper case, as it is with most other LPD
print servers, but the Barricade might be different. It might also be
firmware dependent, but still worth trying.

Also worth trying inclusion of the colon character as well.

Exactly. And the Barricade worked fine with all OS'es that were thrown
at it. Until Windows 7 which is unable to print to it. Ok, of course I
do not know about Vista because I wouldn't touch that mess with a 10ft pole.

What's wrong with the name LPT1?

Windows 7 is messed up in many other ways as well when it comes to
networks. For example, it sees my little office server only once in a
while. It never sees my wife's PC which all other PCs can see, and
always could. IMHO they simply messed up at Microsoft and Windows 7 does
not have the quality that XP did.

versions appear to have fewer bugs than the later releases:

Looks like earlier versions are not available from SMC.

Looks like there's some alternative firmware available:

Would it help if I just snail mailed a better print server to you? You
pay only the shipping. However, it will need to wait a week as I just
caught a cold or flu.

LOL, the guy I gave my 5MP and print server to told me that he is not
using the print server since he already had one. I could get it back and
send it to Joerg as well.

Read this where the person named the print queue as "lp" for a different
machine: <http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20020930060410464>.

Good plan.

Interesting article. I read the reader comments and noticed that one
person said to use "lpt1" instead of "LPT1". I've been proclaiming
that the queue name should be all upper case, as it is with most other
LPD print servers, but the Barricade might be different. It might
also be firmware dependent, but still worth trying.
