Re: setting up Network printer on an Hp 9000 K-class servr

 

setting up Network printer on an Hp 9000 K-class servr

Hi

I have a HP 900 K-class server running HPUX 10.20. Last January I setup a HP 4550 N Color Laser Jet that is one of out network printer, and I was able to print Documents, Still I am able to print text documents. Last week I was trying to print some graphics for the Hp Openview , I am getting errors, like " child killed: segmentation violation, lp: standard input is empty, lp: request not accepted" First time when I setup the printer I did the setup through Jetadmin, now there is no jetadmin, available form HP. I think the new software is "hp print server ands network software" Any one know how to setup a color printer on an hp 9000 running HPUX 10.20. If so could you help me with this.

Thank you,

Ollakal

the new software is called the jetdirect printer installer for unix. It looks very, very similar to jetadmin. try this article on the hp web site for instructions:

Hi,

It seems like you had set up the printer correctly the first time using jetadmin. If you have doubts about if jetadmin is still there then
I have added a network lazer printer with ease using jetadmin ensuring that I had given the printer a static IP address from the utility for NT.

Any
To see if jetadmin still exists
# ls /opt/hpnp/admin/jetadmin

to see if the printer is still configured use
# lpstat -v

you will see a listing.

If you have installed new printing software on your HP box, this may replace existing stuff
do a
# swlist to see what add-on software you may have added.
