HP JetDirect and B size printing

[John Downs_1]

Greetings, I have an HP5000n connected directly to the network. I just installed the latest version of HP jetdirect printer installer. Not I need to configure a B size(11x17) queue. I have a few questions: 1. When I have Jetdirect installed do I need to SAM to configure printing? 2. Do I need to configure bootp or telnet to print to it? 3. Do I need to edit one of the model files to configure it for 11X17 and correct tray for paper?

Hi John,

Depending on which tray the paper you want to print on is in, you can use the -o tray1/tray2 option with the lp command. Looks at the man paages for the printer model for more info on the options available.

If he printer model is lj4x_net, try "man lj4x_net" for the options avaiable with this model of printer.

Hope this helps.

Hi John

1.Even if you start confiugring from SAM it will take you to jetadmin.

2.No just a normal network printer.

3.No this will work with -otray option if the driver is correct. man printer model , man lp for details.

Hi John,

you don't have to consfigure bootp or telnet to print on a network printer. If you are into the jetadmin configuration screen choose option "3" that is add a new printe. You don't have to do anything with the 1st two options with jetadmin when you invoke jetadmin from within SAM.

Hope this helps.
