You don't need to use sam. Since you have installed the JetDirect software which includes the hppi command, it's very simple.

Simply execute the command 'hppi' as root and that will start an interactive session in which you choose 1) Spooler Administration.

You can also just use the addqueue command:

/opt/hpnpl/bin/addqueue

Like so:

addqueue -i 9998 -q W052 -h w052.yourdomain.com

The -i option is the "printID type from the following list:

-h is the host name, and -q is the queue name.

Most printers are added with 9998 "Generic". Some may have to be 9992 (Genicom).
