HP Jetdirect with swinstall

[Ashraf_1]

Hi All,

I downloaded Hp Jedirect software from the internet to my windows PC to be installed in my rp7410 server. Then using ftp binary session the file had been transferred to the server under /tmp/HP11e134.SD.
The software is gotten from http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?pnameOID=18922&locale=en_US&taskId=135&prodSeriesId=27349&prodTypeId=18972 location. Unfortunately we started swinstall we got the following error:

"There is currently no depot software on host "yanapps1" at location "/tmp/HP11e134.SD". Make sure that an absolute pathname is specified for location (beginning with "/").

Anybody can guide me on how to install this downloaded software.

Regards,
Ashraf

hi,

try this:

# cd /
# swinstall -s /tmp/HP11e134.SD

it should work, if not:

# /sbin/init.d/swagentd stop
# /sbin/init.d/swagentd start
to restart swagentd and try the above swinstall steps.

regards.

Hi,
To see if your file is corrupted:
-rwxrwxrwx 1 vbe bin 3737600 Oct 10 2003 HP11e134.SD
try to tar -tvf HP11e134.SD and see if it can be read to the end

Keep us informed

All the best
Victor

Try re-downloading from here:

http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software1/ja243/ja-6671-1/HP11e134.SD

Can you install interactively?

4) Type /usr/sbin/swinstall.
5) In the "Specify Source" window, set the Source Depot
Path to the /tmp/HP11e134.SD.
6) Under the "View" menu in the "Software Selection" window,
choose "Change Software View" and select "Start with Products".
7) In the "Software Selection" window, highlight the
"HPNPL -> E.10.34 Hewlett-Packard JetDirect Printer
Installer" line and click on the right mouse button to
mark this item for installation.
8) Under the "Actions" menu, in the "Software Selection"
window select "Install (analysis) ...".
9) After the analysis has completed successfully, hit
the "OK" button to start the installation.

Rgds...Geoff

Thanks for all responses,

I found out that, Whenver i moved the file the uppercase letter changed to lower. So i had choosen swinstall and select the template to be lower case letters. And now it is working.
