Changing printer port from 9100 to 9101,9102,9103 etc. HP UX 10.xx

[barrymfriedman]

Kyocera printers store forms internally and are accessed by calls made to specific ports.
such as

9101 may call in the "invoice" form
9102 could be for "PO" forms

I need to be able to create printers which use different port #'s

Thanks in advance

Shalom Barry,

This configuration is usually controlled by a little web based appliction run in the printers.

Then you need to set up your print spooler to handle this.

What are you using to spool print jobs?

I know all about the web based system in the printer.
I need to setup an "lpr" like printer where I can define both the ip address(or host name) of the device along with a port selection.
ex: 192.168.1.100:9102
Is there a printer cap file that can be edited for specific printer commands ?
Thanks

If the printer is configured as a network printer you can change the port number in the /var/spool/lp/interface/ file. Just search for the xPORT line and change it to:

xPORT="-p 9101"

(or whatever port you'd like).
