How to add Network-Based Printer/plotter using SAM?

I want to install a Network_based Printer/plotter(add printer/plotter connected to HP JetDirect) using SAM,but there occured a error "The HP JetDirect printer software is not installed on your system (neither the command "/opt/hpnpl/admin/jetadmin" exists). Therefore, it is not possible to add a printer that is connected to an HP JetDirect interface."
How can I do?


Thanks

thanks a lot!
Does it exist in "HP-UX11.0 Application software" CDs?

It should. I am not sure which CD though. Maybe CD 1.

When you mount the CD, check for an INDEX file. That will list everything on the application CD. Look for JetAdmin.

Hi frueyang,
I think you can not find it in HP Application software CDs. I did this before, but only can download.

You can find the software at the Installation CD of HP JetDirect under the folder UNIX

hi Joseph Baque,
Is the CD you mentioned one of the "Application Software" CDs or the "Core OS" CD?

If you buy a HP JetDirect it come with a Installation CD. In that CD you can find the HP11E118.SD file (software depot) under the UNIX/HPUX/11.x folder. Copy the file to your server or mount the CD then type this command for installation.

swinstall -s /path/of/HP11E118.SD or
swinstall -s /CD/UNIX/HPUX/11.x/HP11E118.SD
where CD is the mount point of cdrom

mark for install then install

Expect nothing but ready for everything
