I have two printers on our network that I have had problems getting
connected to our print server via queue based printing. Nowhere in
the internal web settings have I seen a section to set the mode to
rconfig to allow the print server on the Novell box to communicate.
The 2 printers in question are the Laserjet 2430 and the Business
Inkjet 1100. Strange thing is that we have a Laserjet 2420 which is
identical to the 2430, just a lower ppm count and that had a check box
to enable rconfig. I was able to get that connected to the printer
server just fine. I've looked at firmware updates but they are all up
to date. I guess it's possible older firmware version had the rconfig
option and the newer ones removed them. In them meantime the printers
are connected to the network in tcp/ip mode but I'd like to have all
printer centrally manageable on the print server.

Anyone else run into similar problems?

pretty much all the newer printers moved towards NDPS/iPrint (aka
IP-based) instead of queue-based printing over IPX ... if you have an
really old version of JetAdmin or WebAdmin, you may give that a try ...

In addition to Peter's comment: Is NDPS/Iprint not an option?
NDPS/iPrint also supports printin gto queues.

Thanks for the tip. Forgot about that old JetAdmin program. I made
the change to remote using that and worked like a charm. Just
couldn't get an HP Business Inkjet 1100 to go remote, the settings
just wouldn't stick.
Thanks again!
