Cannot query E36102A power supply with SCPI commands

I am working on automating our environment here. I am having a problem with my E36102A power supply. I can issue write commands to it and it works fine but if I try to read anything (even *IDN?) I get a hang condition and script is hung.

Any ideas would be helpful.

A little background. I am running this on a LINUX box. If I use my laptop PC and try to talk to supply with Keysight Connection Expert I can write and read form it without problems. If I run same python scripts on my laptop PC I get same behavior as the LINUX box ( writes ok but read hangs).I have several other pieces of equipment (eg..Keysight 34465 meter) and they all work OK using my linux python scripts.

Working python script:

import visa

import time

#Go establish connection to the meter and read its instrument information

rm = visa.ResourceManager()

supply = rm.open_resource('TCPIP0::192.168.200.36::inst0::INSTR')

supply.read_termination = '\n'

#Set power supply output voltage

supply.write('SOUR:VOLT 3.3')

supply.close()

rm.close()

Failing python script:

import visa

import time

#Go establish connection to the meter and read its instrument information

rm = visa.ResourceManager()

supply = rm.open_resource('TCPIP0::192.168.200.36::inst0::INSTR')

supply.read_termination = '\n'

#the next command will just hang up. no timeout....nothing but hang

print supply.query('IDN?')

supply.close()

rm.close()
