Hi,
I just bought a used Laserjet 4 with an Intel NetportExpress Pro network
card installed. When I pressed the diag. button on the card, it would send
a page to be printed which showed that all the POST passed. The TCP/IP was
configered but the IP address was 0.0.0.0. I tried changing the IP address
using NetBEUI, Netport Software and a crossover cable, but the Netport
software wouldn't find the printer. I then tried flashing the Intel card to
the factory defaults with Proflash and a serial null modem. Now when I
press the diag. button, nothing happens. I think that I hooped the flash.
The firmware version on my Netport card was V04.45a, now it's probably
V-ARGHHH. I was trying to flash it using the latest version of Proflash
from the Intel website.
I am hoping someone has some advice for reflashing the card. Is there a
trick that I am missing: setting up the COM port a certain way, special null
modem, etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Michael
