where the network printer is connected?

Is the printer connected in Windows Domain print server or it is connected in Network hub?

If not connected in domain printer server then, you can use jetdirect software of HP if it is HP printer. otherwise you need to communiacte for other printer vendor in their web site.

if in domain print server, then connect via SAM.

This is network printer which is connected to network HUB with a cable.Please let me know what are the steps required for the printer installation.

Hi,

the easiest way is if this network printer is a HP printer with unix capability.
Like in this thread:

Use SAM:
'sam' -> Printers and Plotters > LP Spooler > Printers and Plotters > Actions Menu > Add Network-Based Printer/Plotter.

Before that define the printer in your /etc/hosts with his ip-address.

With a non-HP printer you can try the non-HP printer configuration 55 to 58.
Then you have to do some tests ...

In general:
There are plenty of threads about this item here in ITRC, just use the search option ;-)

Stepts,

1. Install JetDirect Software
2. excute the command hppi or goto sam->printes and plotters -> printes and plotters -> actions ->aAdd Network-Based Printer/Plotter
3. Choose Spooler Administration
4. Add printer to local spooler
5. give the priter ip or name (do the /etc/hosts configuraion for the printer name resolv)
6. choose the model script name from the list if available or choose the 56) To Select dumbplot model script for printer

7. configure the print queue and etc..

8. lpstat -a ( printer stat)

I think it will help for u.

"network printer"

This is not useful at all. Is this an HP printer or some other manufacturer? What is the model and manufacturer of the printer? Is this printer attached to another computer acting as a print server?

This is HP Laserjet 2600n printer. Does this support to HP-UX version.

Hi,

The same model printer i try to install on my hp-ux 11iv3 machine, but i failed.


we are using SAP application,SAP has a installer which will bypass the hp-ux, means it will directly send the print request to the printer

thx

No, the specs say host based, no PCL or PostScript:

I'm not sure if this means you would have to attach it to a windows machine and print through that?
