Thanks for reply

Befour adding printer need to stop any spooler or is ther any condition becaus alredy 5 printer configured in that BOX.

Thanks

[IT_2007]

yes. you do. But it won't delete any pending jobs.

[A. Clay Stephenson]

When you add or remove any printer then you must run lpshut to shutdown the spooler. Both SAM and hppi automatically stop and restart lpsched for you.

[Pete Randall]

If you use SAM, the spooler will be stopped automatically.

Oops - that should have been "#enable" not "$enable".

There's a good example in the lpadmin man page:

"Assuming an existing Hewlett-Packard HP2934A line printer named lp1, it will use the hp2934a model interface through /dev/lp after the command:

/usr/sbin/lpadmin -plp1 -mhp2934a -v/dev/lp"

Your question was confusing because the printer is not local (meaning that it has an RS-232 serial cable or Centronics parallel cable plugged into your computer). Since you said it was an HP 4350 printer and has an IP address, the printer is called a "network" printer and uses an HP JetDirect LAN card. Start by checking if this printer is reachable:

# /opt/hpnpl/bin/hpnpadmin -v 121.111.142.241

If the first few lines indicate that this is a network printer, you can proceed. If not, the printer is not reachable. Your network administrator will have to troubleshoot the problem. HP JetDirect protocol uses port 9100.

If hpnpadmin works OK, then you can add the printer with this one command:

# /opt/hpnpl/bin/addqueue -h 121.111.142.241 -q Ray014

Then test the printer with the lp comand:

# lp -dRay014 /etc/profile
