Question: How do I get this Jetdirect software installed for 11.x?

[Angie_1]

I downloaded JetDirect software for version 11.X to install on my 11.11 C3000 system. The file I downloaded is called "HP11e134.SD"

Its version E.10.34 for Jetdirect.

The instructions were to install the software with swinstall.

I did do "swinstall -s /tmp/HP11e134.SD" and its not working. But this file is a tar file, not a depot file. So it won't install. Anyone else have this problem. I did tar -xvf and there are a bunch of directories and files and its not apparent what to do.

Help!

You should be installing HPPI (HP Print Installer).

In answer to your question, did you ftp the file in BINARY mode?

What does swlist -s /tmp/HP11e134.SD show?

Can you provide the error you received when you tried to install it?

Are you following the instructions correctly?

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/networking/software/jdprninsten.install.unx

If there is a problem, perhaps the download you did was not successful.

That is the correct software.

What does swlist show, you would not need to extract the archive using tar. It's in a depot format already. Should be able to swinstall it if all is okay w/ the download and box.

Can you post the following output?

# swlist -l fileset -s /tmp/HP11e134.SD

# swlist -l fileset |grep -i distributor

# tail -80 /var/adm/sw/swagent.log |grep -E 'WARNING|ERROR'

Your swinstall command is missing an important parameter: the name of the package. In your example:

swinstall -s /tmp/HP11e134.SD

what should follow the source file is the name of the package, or just an asterisk (escaped from the shell) as in:

swinstall -s /tmp/HP11e134.SD \*

All swinstall (depot) files are tar files which is the easiest way to see if the depot is valid (no checksum errors).
