Hello David,

If need to configure a network printer on HP-UX system yo have to execute jetadmin.

Select option 1 - Configuration (super-user only) - and then option 3 - Add printer to local spooler.

You should just to provide IP address (in case printer doesn't exist into /etc/hosts file or or DNS) and controller (almost always for HPLJ printes I used lpj4).

I hope it helps to you.

Regards,

Carles

If whereis hppi doesn't return something like:

hppi: /usr/bin/hppi /opt/hpnpl/bin/hppi /opt/hpnpl/man/man1/hppi.1


Then this link will help you download and install hppi:

Once you've installed hppi run it as root.

Go into Spooler Administration.
Then Add printer to local spooler.
Then give it the printer IP address. (or you can vi /etc/hosts and add an entry for the printer with a name before you run hppi).


Then look here to see what model script you want to use:

Or search the forums, I'm sure this has been covered many times before, If I find a good explanation I will post a link.

Hi Lawrance

You need to have hppi utility to install a network printer in hp-ux. hppi is freely downloadable from hp. After you have done so , you may either use SAM to add remote printer or run hppi. Before doing so make sure IP address has been setup on the printer and you are able to ping to printer from hp-ux server
