Hi Jairo,

you need hp jetadmin to configure a network printer under hp-ux. the jetadmin has been discontinued, you can use hp distributed print services or download jetadmin from hp web-site.

hope this helps.

Hi Jairo,
As they says download jetadmin and install it on server.
Then on server setup network printer. You need IP address for that printer(if it is network printer, Jetdirect card) and on client setup remote printer.
use sam for remote printer setup or lpadmin.
use jetadmin to setup netwrok printer on server.

Hi Jairo,

First ping the printer ip from your system and see whether the ping is working okay. Next if you have jetadmin installed, run SAM and while adding the printer select network printer using hp jetadmin. Then no need to configure bootp etc, just add a printer. Give the printer ip and it should be able to open the printer configuratrion. change the name if you want and then save the configuration by selecting "0". Exit from the configuration, set the printer to default if you want and you should be able to print, check the status of the printer using "lpstat -t".

hope this helps.

Make sure you can ping
to the IP address. If you
cannot , check whether it
is on the network, whether
there is a route to the
printer''s subnet from your
system (netstat -r).

Once you are able to ping
to the system, you should
be able to use jetadmin.
