You can ping the printer from the AS/400.
You can ping the server from the AS/400.
The printer is a HP4050 with a Ethernet card installed.
If we point the AS/400 to the old server it will print to the HP4050. If we
point it to the new server (the same printer) and change it on the AS/400 it
will not print. We set the printer up the same on the new server as the old
server. (Best I can tell) The old server was a NT 4.0 server, the new server
is a Win 2000 server,

Sounds like it -  so -

First of all, can you ping the printer from a dos prompt, from the AS/400
command line? If not; could be a line problem or a card, or - other unknowns
at this point.

Now it depends on how your printer is hooked up -
Are you running twin-ax emulation card or an Ethernet card over IP

If the Ethernet IP card - has the IP address changed?,
If the address changed, are you running this as a device or
as a remote outq?  Which either would have to also change on the config
set-ups.

These would also require you to end the writer, vary off the device, and
then fire it back up for the changes to take effect.

If you are running with a twin-ax emulation card?
Make sure you are varied on, no conflicts, and if you
moved it much, re-seat the cards and check the twin-ax line
(if you have a tester) to make sure the signal is getting through.

Is the new server set-up the same as the old one?
IE: time-out values - so it can share the resource with the AS/400.

That's the main trouble shooting I can think of off the top of my head -

More information may help us to help you isolate the opportunity.

We have a AS400 sitting on a Windows Network.  We have been printing to a HP
network printer on our network.  We have moved the network printer to
another server, due to the old one crashing.  We changed the name of the
server, and the printer name in the AS400 print spool.  Print jobs will not
print.  Is there anywhere else it needs to be changed in order to get the
AS400 printing again.

Thanks,
