Printing

[Bill Cioffi]

I am having problems with the hppi tool in HP-UX 11.0 can't get first printer installed. I keep getting "lp: can't open default destination file". What is the most intuitive and straight command by command document on installing printers in an HP environment?

Bill,

Check the permissions of /var/spool/lp/default should be 644

And for your second question use

# sam

Removed obsolete JetDirect software (/usr/lib/admin/hpnpcfg) and added support for the new HP JetDirect Printer Installer (/opt/hpnpl/admin/hppi) software. You can now use SAM to configure a network printer using the new HP JetDirect Printer Installer. SAM still supports the HP JetAdmin Software(/opt/hpnp/admin/jetadmin).
Hope it helps,

Robert-Jan.
