Let me explain *HOW* that works. getone is the program that retreives
SNMP information from a network device. HPNP uses getone to detemine if
the print server is ready for action. However, HPNP was inscribed in the
days before 3 port servers and therefore *ASSUMES[1]* that the print
server has only one printer port. It therefore only check the first port
to see if the attached printer is ready to print. It ignores the other
two ports.
If you take the printer on the first port offline, HPNP will not print to
the other two ports until the first port printer is back online.
By renaming getone, the incredibly stupid HPNP program assumes that SNMP
is not installed on the system, and to therefore not bother asking the
print server if it's ready for action. It just *ASSUMES[1]* that it's
allways ready.
Incidentally, if you need some entertainment, try:
getmany IP_of_print_server public iso
On some printers, it will even tell you how many pages are left in the
paper bin.
[1]Assumption: The mother of all screwups.

Yeah, that's been argued before. Personally, I wouldn't use hpnp anyway (netcat is much more reliable). Anyway, some will say that they never let custom do anything by itself anyway. I'm not quite that difficult, though I do like to examine its proposed fixes before turning it loose.
But your point is valid and important to be aware of.
