SYMPTOMS
========

When a Hewlett-Packard (HP) JetDirect EX Plus 3 (multiple port) interface card
is incorrectly configured, all print jobs print to the first printer.

CAUSE
=====

This can be caused by having uppercase letters or spaces in the port name. These
cards are case-sensitive. If DLC protocol is used instead of TCP/IP, this will
also cause all jobs to go to only one printer.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods:

- Configure the printers to use TCP/IP instead of DLC.

- When adding a Hewlett-Packard Network Port, in the Name box use only
  lowercase letters with no spaces. For example, use raw1, raw2, and raw3 or
  text1, text2, and text3.

  NOTE: The port names must have the sequential numeric value of 1, 2, 3 after
  the lowercase name in order for all three ports to be used.
