Add printer

Hello,

How do we add a printer in Jetadmin to print over interne? Using public ip address.

Please advise,
Adrianne

Re: Add printer

As long as there is a hole in your firewall for port 9100 and your host can access the printer then it's the same as connecting any other JetDirect printer. The gotcha will come in if this printer is not using a static IP address. In that case, the IP will need to implment dynamic dns so that printer always gets the same hostname regardless of the IP address and you always use the hostname in your PERIPH=hostname line in the /var/spool/interface/printername file.
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.
