PI3502

[rasman67]

Does anyone know where I can get a PI3502 nic board at a reasonable price? If so please let me know I need it or even the whole print controller.
Thanks in advanced

Those NIC's where dying on a weekly base here. No replacement from manufacturer. No way to repair them.
We replaced all rentals our company has with Bizhubs 350 because of this issue.

Here are some threads about that issue:

As Hans said, these NIC's die all the time.

Now you could go out and buy another NIC, but the chances are that it will die shortly as well.

An option I used on the machines was to get an HP JetDirect and connect it to the Pi3502's parrallel port. If you are familiar with Fierys, then you will know that the parrallel port on those is different to the standard parrallel port, just as the Pi3502's parrallel port is the same as a Fiery one. The only thing with doing this is that you will no longer be able to scan, but one out of the two isn't bad.
