Jet direct prinitng on HP-UX V3

[Sreejith Kaliyam]

Dear All

I am having problem with my HP-UX 11iv3 servers which does not print to jetdirect printers. The remote printing facility is working fine. When we configure the network printng using the smh, it adds the printer , but when we send the print to the printer it simply disappears. The same printer is printing fine from HP-UX 11i V1 servers.

Anybody faced this issue before?. My printer is HP 4345 MFP. I have downloaded the latest model script for the printer. But still does not work.

Thanks and regards

Hi,

Do you have the Jet Direct Printer Installer for HP-UX installed?

Software available here:

(don't worry about the age of the software, it works fine...)

Dear Duncan

Jetdirect software is already installed. I am following the same procedures as mentioned in the jetdirect admin guide. I am able to add the printer to the spooler and it also appears in the lpstat -t list. When I send a print job to the printer, it show the request id and the job suddenly disappears.

Have tested the same on a hp-unix 11iv3 server?

It sounds like the printer is working fine from the unix perspective. It sees stuff to send. It sends it on. My first thought would be you have a different printer in the area with a lot of paper on it. My second guess would be the printer is set up to accept the jobs from the unix box....and throw them away.

Hi,
check the printer model in /etc/lp/interface/model.orig.

I had the same problem, also I choosed HP 4250 the script has taken the 4350 model. After changing the model manually (you will find it in /opt/hpnpl/sh (after downloading through /opt/hpnpl/bin/hppi, by choosing ->1 ->4), it will work fine. May this will help you. Peer
