I guess you are already using HP JetDirect printer Installer on you HP-UX box.

Just follow following HP docs and you will be all done .. These docs are very usuful.

The 4050 printer is part of the 4000 series. Actually, the majority of new Laser printers use the same printer script: net_ljx000 and there is a man page for it.

Hi Jagadesh

You may choose following option for Printer ID

257) HP LaserJet 4000 Series

Hi Jagadesh ,

You can also use this script to add the printer very easily:

############################################
#!/bin/ksh -x

# SCRIPT For adding of SAP Printers.
# The data file is addprt.list
# Please enter the printers name in the file addprt.list to be added.
###########################################


PRINTERS=/home/username/printer/addprt.list

#Turn of the scheduler first

echo " Stopping LP Schedular "
lpshut

for i in `cat $PRINTERS`
do
echo $i
lpadmin -p$i -v/dev/null -mrmodel -ocmrcmodel -osmrsmodel -orm$i-jet-laser -orp$i
echo " Printer $i Created. * * "
accept $i
enable $i
done

#Don't forget to enable the scheduler. Scheduler enabling..
lpsched

echo " Printers Created Successfully "
echo " ------------------------------------------------------------------"
###########################################

Note:
1. /home/username/printer/addprt.list is the flename need to add the printer name , i.e PR10
PR11
PR12
etc..
2. /home/username/printer/add_printers.sc is the script name , to be run to add the prt.
3. in /etc/hosts , IP has to define for the remote printers in the format :
9.110.11.2 PR10-jet-laser #Example.

--------------------------------------

Hope this will help you , if you unable to add via addqueue.

Cheers ,
Raj.

Jagadesh ,

Also Remeber , addqueue , do not stops the LP scheduler , but the script will stop the scheduler for few seconds , and start, and it will not have any impact as its very quick.

Cheers .
Raj.
