All HP Printers (62) that are centrally served have been reconfigured and
reset.
The reconfiguration consisted of the changes to central logging to EUTERPE
instead of logging to GRE. The reconfiguration also consisited of taking
off the "hpljivsi." prefix on the boot files and just having the IP hostname
as the filename instead. (The second was to fix the apparent 24 character
limit of the bootfile name in the T144 field of the bootptab file entry for
the printer. Apparently an HP JetDirect card "feature.")
The printers were then all sent a reconfigura command from my workstation
(IMBRIUM) and reloaded their files. All the printers should be logging to
EUTERPE as of today.
(Hotline: this doesn't affect you directly. I've double checked that all
the printers came back up after being sent a reconfigure and only two
(shoe and e52-364-p) didn't, but were not up when I started :->.)
