JetAdmin

[Pieter_5]

I am migrating a HP-UX D-class to a L-class. On the D-class JetAdmin is installed. I understand that this is obsolete at the moment. What is a good alternative or where can I get a download of the ancient sofware package?

Andre,

JetAdmin is out of support as of March 2003. The replacement product is called HP Printer Installer (HPPI). It has the same look and feel of JetAdmin. Download for hppi at 11.x:

Here are the document id's from the Knowledge Base to migrate your spooler configuration between JetAdmin and hppi:

KBRC00001736
UPRTKBRC00009402

Hope this helps,
Eric

Look into the "transferqueue" command.
Here is part of the man page for it:

NAME
transferqueue allows users to transfer all Unix JetAdmin created
queues from one Unix host to another.

SYNOPSIS
transferqueue

Description
transferqueue transfers queues from one machine to another by
retaining the same set of configuration options that were set through
Unix JetAdmin utility. This script will ONLY transfer queues from
HP-UX 10.x/11.x to HP-UX 10.x/11.x or Solaris 2.x to Solaris 2.x. When
transfering JetAdmin created queues to the destination machine, the
destination must have either the same version (as the source) or a
later version of Unix JetAdmin installed.

Prerequisite
Login to the Source machine as 'root' user from which the queues are
to be transferred. Change directory to /etc/lp/interface and remove
old queues by executing "rm *.old*" and remove the files which are not
used as queues. Tar the queues by executing 'tar -cvf /tmp/queues.tar
*'. Now transfer the file '/tmp/queues.tar' to the '/tmp' directory of
destination machine (to which the queues are to be transferred) by
executing the following commands.

ftp
login as root user
cd /tmp
bin
put /tmp/queues.tar
bye

Now login to destination machine as root user and execute
transferqueue using command '/opt/hpnp/bin/transferqueue'. If
necessary, set the default queue by executing the command 'lpadmin -d
.

Hope this helps.
