Using bootp to set the IP address of the 4000 printer is un-necessary as
you apparently have setup the printer with a fixed IP address.  Comment
out the section of /etc/bootptab as it's un-necessary.  Test by turning
off the printer and try to ping it.  If the IP address stays in the
printer, you win and can get rid of /etc/bootptab entry.

Why is the printer called:
    Host Name       : NPI0E9FE5
from the Telnet config page?  It doesn't really need to be the same as
the entry in /etc/hosts, but it sure makes things simpler.

Are you using Novell and DLC/LLC protocols?  Probably not, so turn them
off.

Is the 10.1.1.1 the real gateway to the printer?  Usually its a router.
Otherwise, set the default gateway to the OSR5 server, or printers IP own
address.

I don't have a clue as to why the daily W2K crash and burn would have any
effect on an isolated HPNP printer.  However, if you setup the OSR5 box
and others to print to the HP4000 *THOUGH* the print queues setup on the
W2K printer, a W2K meltdown will disable printing.  Hard to tell with no
topology and configuration info.  Does the OSR5 box print directly to the
printer or to the W2K box which then outputs to the printer?

The telnet configuration shows only a subset of the available settings.
Fire up HP JetAdmin for Windoze and you'll have a much better picture of
what the printer is doing (or not doing).
