Using hppi non-interactive

Lothar Seitter — Wed, 23 Apr 2003 11:15:24 GMT

Hi,

is there a way to use hppi
non-interactive for automatic
installation of printers.
I found the -aq option but no
more information how to supply parameters to this option.

Regards,

Lothar

Hi

export MANPATH=/opt/hpnpl/man:$MANPATH

man addqueue

addqueue(1) addqueue(1)

NAME
addqueue offers an alternate method of creating queues for printers
connected with JetDirect interface cards.

addqueue
allows a user to build an lp printer queue based on arguments entered on the UNI
X command line, and provides a non-GUI alternative to the method provided by the
hppi Utility. It is not to be used to create a queue for a printer connected di
rectly to a LPT port.

Hi there, I use this in scripts:
/opt/hpnp/bin/addqueue -i "name" -q "name" -h "IP Address"
