Hello, we were at a car dealership and all their printers were connected with ethernet cables and usb cables at the same time. I am wondering why you would set up like that? Thanks for any explainations
Re: Ethernet cable and usb cable both connected. Why
Car Dealership...HUGE red flag. Look for custom dealership software (Reynolds and Reynolds/ADP (now CDK).
The network channel may be highly modified including special firmware for the Dealership software and they wish for USB printing outside of the Network interface. (Assuming this USB cable goes to a single PC and not somewhere 'exotic').
Just a thought.

Re: Ethernet cable and usb cable both connected. Why
It could be because of certain software they use for their printers, such a Dealer track, etc., but most of the time it works via the Ethernet. In my experience most car sales persons have no idea how a printer works and they just plug in anything to it if it does not print.

Thanks,This looks like what they have going on. Do you know if the special firmware can be removed? Other searches I did they were not successful in removing all traces.

Is there a problem with the customized unit that requires returning it to factory firmware?
Does the device have to work with special software and keep it's modified FW?
If the device is rebranded by ADP or CDK then it was sold by them and not by the manufacturer (OEM). There could be settings to prevent these 'special' machines from being used by others.
You can try to re-flash it with standard FW, worst that will happen is it will not accept it due to model coding.

The customer does not want to deal with CDK anymore and they called us in. Taking care of the printers are no problem but we never dealt with a car dealer,so this is all new. As the printers are now they will only use cdk's toner. We cant seem to even install new drivers. Says it cant see the printer even though we can ping it and also works on some drivers that are installed. May not be possible but we thought if there was a way to bring it back to a factory HP. Lot of things going on that we need to figure out. Way more than we knew when getting into this deal.
Re: Ethernet cable and usb cable both connected. Why
Yes CDK customizes the device to it's own model designation so it won't be recognized for driver, toner, and other 'model dependent' things.
You can get around the driver thing by setting the Standard TCP port IP address directly (no discovery) and using any equivalent HP driver (hand select) but sometimes CDK firmware causes print command interpreter issues. (My first case was ADP rebranded Kyo printer throwing CF codes using Kyo driver) but they stopped using Kyos a few years back.
I do not know how you can get around the toner cartridge ID issues, you need an HP tech who knows toner tricks for them.

Remove CDK firmware from HP 608
Looks like a dead end just as CDK intended.

A favorite resort of the foreign residents of Yokohama during the summer months is the island of Enoshima. It is about twenty miles away, and is a noted place of pilgrimage for the Japanese, on account of certain shrines that are reputed to have a sacred character. Doctor Bronson arranged that his party should pay a visit to this island, as it was an interesting spot, and they could have a glimpse of Japanese life in the rural districts, and among the fishermen of the coast. "But as we are in for it," he continued, "we must make the best of the situation, and hope to go through in safety. Many a strong ship lies at the bottom of the sea, where she was sent by just such a storm as we are about to pass through, and many another has barely escaped. I was once on a ship in the China seas, when the captain told the passengers that it would be a miracle if we remained half an hour longer afloat. But hardly had he done speaking when the wind fell, the storm abated, and we were safe. The typhoon is to these waters what the hurricane is to the West Indies; it is liable to blow at any time between April and September, and is often fearfully destructive. OPIUM-PIPE. OPIUM-PIPE. "Surely your ladyship knows Dr. Bruce!" Hetty said with a vivid splash of colour on either cheek "A little time ago I understood that Dr. Bruce----" "I require that everywhere a strict investigation shall take place into the conduct of the soldiers with regard to the life and property of the civilian population. "Where were they buried?" They all pressed forward. "Count out. That's the only fair way," shouted the boys in the center. "Now, there's three loaves o' bread for the Sargint," said Harry, laying them down on a newspaper. "There's three for the Corpril; there's three for me; there's three for you." "'T?un't peas, thick 'un," Vennal would break in uproariously, "it's turnips—each of 'em got a root like my fist." At this moment of perplexity, some medicine, that she had obtained from Edith, occurred to her, and, with a feeling of confidence, and almost of extacy, she took a phial from a shelf in a cupboard where she had placed it, and, pouring out the contents in a large spoon, hesitated an instant ere she administered it. "Let me see," said she; "surely it was a large spoonful Edith told me to give—yet all that was in the phial doesn't fill the spoon. Surely I can't be wrong: no—I remember she said a large spoonful, and we didn't talk of any thing else—so I must be right." But Mary still hesitated, till, hearing a sudden noise in the court-yard, which, she conjectured, was her mistress returned, and as the child was getting worse every moment, she leaned back its head, and, forcing open its mouth, compelled the patient, though with difficulty, to swallow its death. The draught was taken; the rigid muscles relaxed, and for a minute the child lay motionless in her lap; but in an instant after, Mary could scarcely suppress a shriek at the horrid sight that met her gaze. The eyes opened, and glared, and seemed as if starting from the head—the fair face and the red lips, were blue, deepening and deepening, till settling in blackness—the limbs contracted—the mouth opened, and displayed a tongue discoloured and swollen—then came a writhing and heaving of the body, and a low, agonized moan: and, as Mary looked almost frantic at this dreadful sight, Edith's words, when she had given her the phial, "that there was enough there to kill," suddenly occurred to her—and then, too, came, with a dreadful distinctness, the remembrance of the true directions which Edith had given. It was nearly noon the next day, when the under-sheriff entered the room to ask if their opinions were yet unanimous. The galleyman still refused. "That for ye, coward," said Tyler, striking him with the flat side of his bared weapon. Oakley aimed another thrust which was again turned aside, and the smith, now flinging down his sword, seized upon his right hand and wrenched the dagger from its grasp. After a short struggle, Oakley fell heavily on the pavement with the blood streaming from his mouth and nostrils. HoME萝拉泷泽第4部资源
