Setting up printer with Jetadmin

Hi,

Where does Jetadmin store the IP addresses of installed printers? We are trying to install a new printer and it says that the IP we are trying to use is being used by another node.

Thanks,

Matt

Re: Setting up printer with Jetadmin

In the interface files. Look in /vap/spool/lp/interface/printername or in /var/spool/lp/interface/model.orig/printername --- which is invoked from the script of the same name in the parent directory. Either the hostname or the IP address will be used as an argument to the hpnpf command within the script.
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.

The interface files.

/etc/lp/interface/printerqueuname
/vap/spool/lp/interface/printername
/var/spool/lp/interface/model.orig/printername

Re: Setting up printer with Jetadmin

In the directory to which Clay pointed you, do this:

grep "PERIPH=" *

and you'll get either names or IP addresses. You may have duplicate IP, or it may be a duplicate listing in your DNS/NIS tables.
