Epson Printers

[Eric Shupe]

I have a handfull of Epson Stylus 900N printers with internal NIC's. How can I set these up to be able to print from a HP-UX 11.0 server? Does anyone know what to use as the remote system name?? I know when using an HP jetdirect card you TEXT but I can't find anything on the Epson.

Thanks

Hi

Just a thought, are the cards already configured with an IP, or do you use DHCP. I beleive, although don't quote me, that the setup for this type of configuration is usually done from the printer main panel. Once IP'ed telnet to it and see if there is any user interface, which should let you setup all the usual configs.

After that, setup the printer via sam (I know, but it usually works;-) as Printer Plotters --> LP spooler --> Printers & plotters --> add remote printer.

Configure your particulars and that should do it. (works for me anyway!)

Hope this is of some use!

Hi,



Found this link which should be of some use, it details the setup of the network side of the printer, unix printing from there should be straight forward....

I'm sure you can find more using the search facility. Sometimes I have better results going to search.hp.com.

Hi Eric,

I don't think you can use jetadmin to configure the Epson printer as a network printer. Nowmally jetadmin is used to configure a HP network printer with HP-Ux. There is a work around.

Have a look at the thread below,

Hope this helps.
