Printer not supported

Krishna Prasad — Wed, 29 Nov 2006 16:04:02 GMT

We are trying to add two brand new printer from HP to the same host.

/etc/hosts defined the printer Ip address.

Printer specifications:

1. Hp Laser jet 4250 Hp Jet directed
Model Number J7949E
Frimware: V.28.59.FF

2. Hp color Laserjet 3800 Printers

and when we try to add this printers using
this command line

#/opt/hpnpl/bin/addqueue -q lst2 -h lst2 -L AUTO

We get the messate PRINTER NOT SUPPORTED

Hp Jet direct Version
HP JetDirect Printer Installer for UNIX (Version E.10.34)

thanks in advance

Chris

Did you get the appropriate model scripts from the following page?

First visit this web page to see if your printers are listed and if so download and install the new model scripts.

You will probably need to run addqueue -i to list all the availkable model scripts and then use the -i addqueue argument to actually select the model script. In almost all cases, you can use an earlier Laserjet or similar interface/model script and all will be well.

Thanks for this, and is there any procedure to install this... like we need to stop the whole print queue?

Anytime a printer is added or removed from the lp subsystem, lpsched must be stopped. The addqueue command stops and restarts lpsched implicitly.
