problems installing serial printer
I have one working LaserjetIIIp printer and I want to install this on serial interface of my 382 wstation with hp-ux 9.0 as local printer. I use sam and assign the driver "laserjet" present in my kernel(not sure whether this is the right one!). I see the printer enabled, idle but as soon as I send a print job, the printer is "disabled". I suspect some problems from driver or baud rate, but I do not have much experience about modifying serial port parameters in my workstation, and I do not know what the default values are.
I will be more than happy if you can give me some tips about how to install such printer on my machine. (I can supply more details if you need..)
Thanks in advance
Engin.

Re: problems installing serial printer
Add the printer using lpadmin command . I assume the device file for this serial interface will be something like /dev/tty01
confirm the entry in /etc/inittab for this special device file . it should be set off (not respawn).
Now try enable printer name & fire a print job & enjoy .
If u still face problems , please some back with more data & i will work on it

Re: problems installing serial printer
try copy /var/spool/lp/model/laserjet to
/var/spool/lp/interface/
(make backup first)

Re: problems installing serial printer
i tried both copying /usr/spool/lp/models/laserjet as /usr/spool/lp/interface/lpt1. But my problem still persists.
below attached is my /etc/inittab file. Further comments gratefully appreciated.
Is there any way that I can test my hardware (serial or parallel)?

Re: problems installing serial printer
lp ::off:nohup sleep 999999999
which ("off") does not do anything. BUT, LEAVE it as it is, because LP spooler managed printers should not be initialized by inittab.
Check /usr/spool/lp/interface/
If that works, copy /usr/spool/lp/interface/
If this does not help, then give the "lpstat -t" output, the relevant part of the log file (see the lpsched(1M) manual page for the right filename), etc..
