Printing Via Specific Port no

[susee]

Hi All

We Have a requirement to print a remote printer ( Cannon Image runner c3100 ) via specific port no 9100

We have the existing printers printing on the port 515 .
cat /etc/services |grep -i print
printer 515/tcp spooler # remote print spooling

adding a new entry in services will affect the other print services , and is there any option that i can specify thru lpadmin command

and right now i planned to use

/opt/hpnpl/bin/addqueue -i 9998 -q TEST -h TEST-jet-laser -b off -p 9100

Will this sort my issue

regards
susee

Port 515 is used for printers which use the LPR/LPD protocol; in HP-UX speak they are referred to as "Remote" printers. Printers which use ports 9100 (and sometime 9101,9192, & 9103) use HP's JetDirect protocol and are referred to as "Network" printers in HP-UX speak. You add these interactively using the hppi command or via command line using the addqueue command. By default, port 9100 is used. If your documentation specfically states that the JetDirect protocol is supported then you can add the non-HP printer as a Network printer. Otherwise, if you still want to add it as a Network printer, you can use the printer's parallel or serial port to connect to an external JetDirect.

Hi Susee ,

Port 515 is used by LPR/LPD .

And for adding remote printers with Jetadmin , that uses port 9100 , by default unless you specifies a different one. And this doens not need entry in /etc/services.

So if you use HP Jetadmin utility to add printer it will be using 9100 port.

Check the -p option , in addqueue for specifying port number.
[ check /opt/hpnp/bin/addqueue ] [for details # man addqueue. ]

Even for Cannon Image runner c3100 , lj4 model script will work good.
