Re: PJL vs port 2 of a Marknet X2000 device

Hello Rob,

Having just gone through this exercise for Sharp printers, that message 
tells me there is nothing listening on the specified port (9101). You can 
easily verify this from a DOS command line by telneting into the port. If 
something is listening you will get a succesful connection.

So if there is nothing on port 9101 then:
        a) port 9101 is not supported
        b) port 9101 must be configured using the Admin/Console interface
        c) it uses some other port number

I searched the Lexmark technical support web site (which has to have the 
stupidest search engine in the world -- one word search strings (e.g., 
PJL, port, 9100, ec.) find no hits) and could not find port information. 
It is not in the MarkNet QuickStart guide so I suspect it might be in the 
driver install manual (PC crap of course).

I'd send e-mail to Lexmark asking them what the port numbers are. It 
shouldn't be this hard to locate that sort of information. They should 
have a single page with all there devices and ports listed. Hope this 
helps. 

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
