I'm not certain the SMC parallel port is 100%. It came from my parents and they said they were having problems after they got a new printer and upgrading machines.

I know all was fine with 98 and the original client program, hence I'm going to try that route with a 98 machine I have.

I googled, got nowhere.

I'd like to get the print server utility that came with the original 7004BR. I tried the client utilities from SMC for the ABR and later models but no go. Using XP FWIW.

Links, ideas?

Thanks
