No print with printer language PCL but with PS

[V. Nyga]

Hi,

I want to print to a HP business inkjet 2200 but it is not printing with the command ll|lp -d'printer'.
No problem to do this with an other printer (who knows PS).
Is it generally not possible to print at a printer only with PCL or what must I do?

Workflow with SAM is prefered

Do you print nothing or print extrange characteres?

Please tell me the output of:

lpstat -t

to see what is happening with that printer.

Hi

If this is a network connection.How did you do it .

This is not normally a unix printer.

I hope you used net_genericprinter as model

Hi,

lpstat -t only says 'ready and waiting'.

At the HP we have a network print server AXIS 540+ and a TCP/IP connection.
I configured with SAM and the Jetadmin utility and added the printer as a network based printer.
I configured it as a Deskjet printer, but it isn't printing anything. I directed the prints to a Kyocera (with PS) and everything went good (with the same configurations).
Then I heard the HP only can PCL, so how can I configure it?
Is this the best solution?

Search didn't work last week and I would like to do it with SAM.

Any tips?

Stop

Printer monitor shows 'Awaiting connection'.
Print job is in printer queue but nothing happens.

The HP Business Inkjet 2200 is the non-Postscript version of the HP Business Inkjet 2200/2250 printer family. It accepts print data using the HPA (High Performance Architecture) data format, which is an extension of the HP PCL3 language that encapsulates 24-bit RGB data.

Hi,

Have you tried to do a ping to the printer ip?
