how to install hp1050c plotter it is connected to network ?
I am trying to install form jetdirect Utility through bootp but it is giveing following error

Enter the printer's LAN hardware address: 0030c1d41676

Probing the hardware interface for identity. This could
take few seconds....


Problem encountered during this process which could be one of the following:

1] The device is not in the network
2] The device is already configured with another IP address,
(thro DHCP/BOOTP), Remove it and start again.
3] Hardware interface is not an official HP Jetdirect

Take a test page of the Jetdirect from the printer.
If you see no IP address assigned, or if it is 0.0.0.0,
wait for around 5 minutes. It will default to
192.0.0.192(if it is HP jet direct) This will help in
identifying the Hardware interface and continuing the configuration.

please tell me setp how to install plotter?

Hi sandeep,

you may can try these steps

1. Install jetdirect utility on one of your window machine.
2. Assign ip-address to plotter ( I have seen that in windows detect all jetdirect printers automatically )
3. First configure your plotter on windows machine and test it
4. Install hpdirect utility on hpux macine
5. install / configure plotter by giving the IP-address


Thanks & Regards
