jetadmin/jetdirect printer install file

[John Payne_2]

Anyone know of a file that lists installed printers queues and their associated IP addresses and configurations? I am recovering a poorly documented, but well backed-up server that had a failed systems disk last night...

Thanks

John

Hi John


/usr/spool/local/interface/

this sub directory has filename for all the printers installed with the naem as that of the printer. In case if the printers ahve been installed using IP adress then you can view these files to get teh IP adress , or if the sames have been installed using the printer name then you may have to dig into /etc/hosts or the a simple nslookup printer naem will egt the IP adress.

For you best bet is, download the HP WebJetadmin and discover the printer by giving the range of IP address. Few days back I also faced the same problem. You can look at the following link.

Hi John,

The printer interface script in /usr/spool/lp/interface will have the ip address of a jetadmin controlled network printer. The ip_address is defined as PERIPH,

PERIPH=ip_add_of_network_printer

Hope this helps.
