The HP JetDirect Printer Installer for Unix can ping the device.
The problem may be:
* incorrect GET community name!
* it is not a network printer!
* other.

Do you want to continue (y/n/q, default - n)? q

So please give me answer for this

First of all, is it documented that your Xerox printer supports the HP (port 9100) JetDirect protocol? If not, you will have to install this as a "Remote" printer (using the LPR/LPD protocol) rather than a "Nerwork" printer.

Hi, is not a Jet_Direct compatibal printer. You need to use sam to configure it:

1. At the prompt, type: sam
2. When a window appears, select Printer/Plotter Manager.
3. When the menu appears, select List printer and plotters.
4. When a list appears, select Actions in the title bar.
5. From the pull-down menu, select Add Remote Printer.
6. When a window appears, add values to configure NIC.

Check the support and drivers section of the XEROX web page
http://www.xerox.com/

The are some printers that have software for HPUX (I installed a work centre pro with xreox supplied drivers from this site)
