Printing from NClass to Xerox DC265

[Robb Bailey]

I am trying to setup the above Xerox printer as a remote printer via SAM on an N4000, HPUX 11.0.

I have the printer in /etc/hosts with IP named Xerox1

I have run the config report from the Xerox which lists the TCPIP Settings hostname as XRX_08003E27AABA.

I can ping the printer via IP address.

I have read previous posts referring to the internal name of the printer. Is this what the XRX_08.... is? If not how do I find this name? What is the difference between the Printer Name, Remote System Name, and Remote Printer Name? I guess my bottom line question is which name do I put where? My previous attempts have resulted in messages like "connection to Xerox1 is down, waiting for Xerox1 to come up".

Thank you for your time.

For Printer Name, use something unique like test.xerox

For Remote System Name, use the name you setup in the /etc/host file, or even the IP address

For Remote Printer Name, use the name you got from the config on the printer--or, it that does not work, use TEXT or RAW or AUTO or PS or whatever the config on the printer shows for queue names.

Hi Robb,

You cannot configure a remote network printer under hp-ux. Are you using jetadmin. Hp-UX jetadmin will only support hp network printer. To configure a third party printer as a remote printer, first configure it as a local printer on one of the system (printer connected to the parallel port of that system) and then add that printer as a remote printer to this system (remote printer connected to the remote system).

Hope this helps.

Hi


If it will not work look at markvision from lexmark which runs well on HP-UX machines and
will give good printer options.

It is free on the net.

Well I am no Xerox printing expert.
Make long story short.
Here 2 agencies use Xerox (IBM Mainframe at port 9xx and HPUX at port 5xx) using tcp/ip.
Well I set HPUX here up simply as remote printers via SAM, and included them in my /etc/hosts file.
Difference-here we still use good old Openspool to handle the queues and printers so instead of rlp, we use np command.
On the Xerox side, they set the hostname to same as host file entry and there is third party software using Sunsparks servers to control the jobs on the Xerox side (RSA software) set up to listen for printjobs on said ports (5xx for rlp and 9xx for mainframe).

So far it has worked for me.

Just a thought,
Rita
