Install Printer's driver in HP-UX

[Service Informatique_8]

All,

How can I put the LaserJet9000 's driver in HP-UX11.00. (I use Jetadmin for manager of printer)

Could you tell me what I may do.
Thank you for your answer.

Service Informatique.

Just a clarification: unlike PCs, there are no drivers in HP-UX. Printers are customized with simple scripts that control behavior for printing simple ASCII files. JetAdmin has been obsolete for 3 years so there are no new printer scripts for JetAdmin. You need to download HPPI (HP Printer Installer) to replace JetAdmin. Installing HPPI will not remove any existing printers.

And to save a *LOT* of time adding (and deleting) printers, use addqueue (and removequeue). A typical addqueue command might be:

/opt/hpnpl/bin/addqueue -q mylj9000 -h 12.34.56.78

Get the latest HPPI software from: http://www.hp.com/cposupport/nonjsnav/netprn.html and select HP Printer Installer software on the right. If you click there, you'll get this (rather ugly looking) URL: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Product.jsp%3Flocale%3Den_US%26prodTypeId%3D18972%26prodSubCatId%3D28674

Then click on Download... and then click again on the software name (I know, it's painful) and finally you'll get to: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?prodNum=J4189AA&prodName=hp+jd+printer+installer+for+hp-ux+11.x&locale=en_US&taskId=135&prodSeriesId=27349&prodTypeId=18972 which is for HP-UX 11.0
