Installing a printer for first time
Hi All,
I need to install a printer on a hpux 11iV2 server, and would like some help on defining the command I should use. Haven't used lpadmin in donkeys years!! There are no other printers configured on the server, this is the first one...
The printer is not hardwired, but is a network printer, on a Novell network, NOT controlled by JetAdmin!!
I have been given the following information -
Printer name on network - wgos297
IP Address - 10.x.x.x
Printer is a HP Laserjet 4250
Driver is PCL 6
Some questions are - Will I need to install the driver? Or is it preloaded with HPUX 11iV2
Do I need an entry on the host file, and use the host name, or configure with IP?
Can I have the same printer name on the server, as the printer has on the network, or do I need to give it a different name.
What's the default naming convention for the device file?
And lastly what would the command syntax look like to create this printer?
Thanks in advance..
Regards,

Re: Installing a printer for first time
Thanks Pete ... I am trying to find out the server name now (as it's on a client site)... Can I have the same printer name on the unix machine, as it is on the network, or does this need to be differnet?

Re: Installing a printer for first time
In hpux, probe conectivity to printer network,
# nslookup wgos297
if ok, then use sam to configure remote printer with name wgos297
if not name conection add in file /etc/hosts,
10.x.x.x wgos297
and add the printer equal first comments.
Verify that you have conectivity,
# ping 10.x.x.x
rgs,
ran
