RE: Problem with an IP printer

["Mark.Hammett" <Mark.Hammett@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It is possible that the printer is rejecting the connection request.  Be
sure the printer's jet direct card is working properly and that it
accepts the ddl/llc downloads from foreign devices on the network.  Also
be sure its setup for port 9100 as a valid port number.  Sometimes they
are set to only receive port 512 (Line print daemon - LPD).  Most of
these are manually adjustable at the printer, unless you have a printer
management GUI and the access to the printer is secured.  Some
jet-direct cards allow direct - port 23 sessions to list the current
option sets. 

The retries are generated by the 400 on a set interval (apparently to 10
minutes).  Good luck!

Subject: Problem with an IP printer

Hi everybody,

 

I have a problem with an IP printer :

"TCP/IP connection to remote system 10.11.44.63 closed, reason code 2"

Cause . . . . . :   The TCP/IP connection to remote system 10.11.44.63
has


  been closed. The connection was closed for reason code 2.  Full
connection


  details for the closed connection include:


    - local IP address is 10.11.44.103


    - local port is 5186


    - remote IP address is 10.11.44.63


    - remote port is 9100


Reason codes and their meanings follow:


    1 = TCP connection closed due to expiration of 10 minute Close Wait
timer.

    2 = TCP connection closed due to R2 retry threshold being run.


...

 

I can see this message a lot of time in the system log, every 10
minutes.
For each message the local port change.

What is wrong ?
