Otherwise it will delete/start the printer as it did before. First let's make sure the Printer you want to reset is on the network PING omjd01: (192.168.9.8): 6 data bytes 14 bytes from 192.168.9.8: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 14 bytes from 192.168.9.8: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 14 bytes from 192.168.9.8: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 14 bytes from 192.168.9.8: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 14 bytes from 192.168.9.8: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 14 bytes from 192.168.9.8: icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 ----omjd01 PING Statistics---- 6 packets transmitted, 6 packets received, 0% packet loss Did you get a successful packet transmission - Y*** ? 3) Answer Y*** is you get a message at the tail end like this: 6 packets transmitted, 6 packets received, 0% packet loss 4) Next, the program deletes the printer and makes 2 attempts to clear the jet direct/network print queue. 5) Next, the port is logged off and the jet direct/network printer is restarted. 6) Printer and print/queue is ready to go!
