Printer additions using JetAdmin

Clifton Smith — Fri, 05 Apr 2002 16:20:32 GMT

I am attempting to add a dot matrix HP printer to an HP9000 machine using JetAdmin. The printer is fairly old (HP 2563A), and I was wondering if someone could tell me which driver would be compatible with this dot matrix printer. I can't seem to get any of the dumbplot configs to work. Thank you in advance.

You should have a model HP2562a in /var/spool/lp/models.

If not, I attached it:

In /var/spool/lp/model these are the drivers you can use ..
hp2563a
hp2564b
hp2565a
hp2566b
hp2567b
In fact if you compare the files, they are the same.

The above should work just fine.
I have also used the PCL3 modelscript with good results.
