Jet Admin

[Waqar Razi]

I need to setup a canonir3045 printer using Jetadmin, I have some cannon printers already been defined on Jet Admin. How can I see what drivers are the already defined printers are using so that I can assign the same driver to the new printer or is there any way, I can copy the configuration of the old cannon printer to the new one.

addqueue -l

will list available printer interface types on your system.

second part ( sorry )

After you set up the queue you can simply copy the interface file of /etc/lp/interface/model.orig/my_printer over to the new system.

The interface file is only a shell script that is executed when you print.

#[/etc/lp/interface] grep IP ave_4015_ofc
# xPORT, PERIPH, TEOJ are all configurable
PERIPH=146.181.164.14
MODELSCRIPTNAME=net_genericprinter
if [ -z "$PERIPH" ]
PERIPH=$MODEL
HPNPFOPT="-j $job+$user $TEOJ $TOJMON $ONUSTATUS $xPORT -x $PERIPH $HPNPFLOG $topazopt

root [/etc/lp/interface] hpnpadmin -i 146.181.164.14

How can I see the configuration of a printer already defined on the system, lets say there is a printer mexcan3045 defined on system, how can i see this configuration.
