That's interesting. We've also determined that the ISS Scanner will take down these printers, but unfortunately we haven't determined exactly why. Just a port scan won't do it, but a full-bore scan will. If anyone has any theories on just why these things go toes up, I'd be interested - conversely, if we do manage to figure this one out, I'll be glad to post it.
Try doing an SNMP table-walk. I didn't get to test it completely before my most recent contract ended but this is what I found: I had been testing BESTview, an SNMP network monitoring tool that uses SNMP Research's code (including 'getmany' et all). When our product did a "full re-detail" of our HP 5MXsi, the printer would crash, displaying "Service Error 80" on the printer display. I assume that our product was doing an SNMP table-walk but didn't have time to research it thoroughly. Lee Sonko lee () swiftmail com
