For the moment the matrix printer function whith a DTC (cable parallele) and like it does not have there a connection network on the printer, I put a case jet-direct to put an address IP and to have the matrix printer in network. To install it I think used (hppi) but I cannot which driver choose for the case jet-direct.

The version is HP UX 11.11

thank you for your assistance

Not sure what a case jetdirect is but..

Once IP address has been assigned either via dhcp or hard config on the jetdirect.


once the Hewlett-Packard JetDirect Printer Installer for Unix is installed on the UNIX server.

lpshut
lpadmin -pMyPrinter -v/dev/null -mdumb
accept MyPrinter
enable MyPrinter
mv cp -p /etc/lp/interface/MyPrinter /etc/lp/interface/model.orig/MyPrinter
cp /opt/hpnpl/sh/hpnp.model /etc/lp/interface/MyPrinter
edit /etc/lp/interface/MyPrinter
change PERIPH= and xPort= to reflect IP/Hostname and portnumber of jetdirect.

lpsched

lp -dMyPrinter /etc/copyright
to test.
