I have a nt 4.0 domain using dhcp
I changen the dhcp range and asigned static IP address to the printer. My printers all are hp with jetdirect cards (4si,5si,8100,etc)
After I change the dhcp range my printer are printing very slow or printing incompleted pages.
WHAT I AM MISSING? WHY THE STATIC IP IS MAKING THE PRINTERS SLOW?

THANKS TO ANY BODY THAT COULD HELP ME

Sounds to me like you may have some other computers on the network that maybe using the same Ip address as the ones you statically asigned to the printers. You must configure your exceptions to dhcp in the dhcp manager on your windows nt server. This will allow your dhcp manager to skip over the static ip addresses you asigned to your network printers. Also, if you are using hp "jetadmin" you must go to each printer and disable dhcp.

After you assigned the printers with their respective IP addresses, have you check to DHCP scope of IP range to exclude those IP address which you gave to the printers?

Check the DHCP's IP scope of range.

Hope this helps
