it looks as though you're trying to run an Xwindows version of jetadmin and you don't have a valid xserver running on your PC / workstation. It could also just be the display variable being incorrectly set.

just try jetadmin as one word.

This should bring up the connamd line version of jetadmin.

If you are trying to run the X version ensure that your DISPLAY variable is set and exported.
Also ensure that the host you are running jetadmin from is allowed to serve X to you local host.
This can be done permanently by creating an /etc/X0.hosts file with the following line
INET:remotehostname
or
temporarily by typing
xhost + remotehostname

to remove this type xhost - remotehostname.

I dont have problem in configuring it thru jetadmin,the command line version works and i go thru this configuration.Everything seems fine after configuration.But then printer does not print !.Whereas the same printer if configured as remote printer works.........Mind you it is a network printer.
