Printer Setup Utility in OSX and JetDirect 500X

[Alexander_81]

Seems like the answer is in here somewhere. Struggling with the same issues as many of these users. HP 3200M on LPT 1 prints any job sent to the JetDirect IP address.

Need solution to adding additional printer to LPT2(9101). Deskjet 1220C connected to port 2 using Mac OSX Panther's Printer setup utility which allows print server set-up but doesn't like the IP:Port ID naming convention for some reason. How do you set up a printer this way which will direct the print job to the right port adn printer?

Hello,

If CUPS is your printing system, declare your second printer normally (JetDirect 9100), then :

=> Stop cups daemon : /etc/init.d/cups stop

=> Edit printer configuration file : /etc/cups/printers.conf

=> Locate the "DeviceURI" that correspond to your printer, and replace 9100 by 9101 :

DeviceURI socket://myprinter.myhome.net:9101

=> Restart cups daemon : /etc/init.d/cups start

Good luck.
