Printing to Port 9100 and above?

Stefan Schmidt — Wed, 05 Sep 2001 09:18:46 GMT

We use HP-UX 10.20 and a networked LaserJet 4100N with HP internal JetDirect card. We programmed a socket listener on Port 9105 which resides in the LaserJet iself. How can we configure HP-UX to print on the printer through Port 9105? Tnx!

Hi,

within the lp interface script

/etc/lp/interface/

you should find a line that begins with:

xPORT=

Change this line to:
xPORT=9105

The variable xPORT is passed as an argument to hpnpf and defines the port to use.

See also 'man hpnpf'

Hi,

just a correction:
xPORT has to be set to:

xPORT="-p 9105"
