HP Printer Installer not installed on UX Server and Workstation

[Michael Gim]

I noticed that the HPPI are not installed on any of my Unix workstations and server. May I know where can I get the necessary files so that I can configure the workstations and servers to be able to print to a network plotter

Sorry for the ugly URL:

You can find this by searching the main HP webpage for JETDIRECT, then select "Support for your JetDirect product"

Thanks for the hyperlink. But upon installing the software, I am encountered with a lot of errors from the SD Install Log file. I am attaching the log file for anaylsis

Bad download? Try downloading again, but before installing, do a swremove on the jetdirect install to get it cleaned up.

Hope it helps

You probably downloaded the depot to a PC first and then used ftp to get it to the HP-UX box. The default for most ftp transfers is ASCII which causes extra characters to be inserted into the data stream. ftp the the file to HP-UX again, but use the BINARY command before 'put'ing the file. Then verify it with tar as in:

tar tvf /fullpathname/hppisomething.depot

This will list the contents using tar, and tar will be checking the format of the file.
