Default Newbie - Printing to Laserjet on Solaris 10

Hi Guys,

totally stuck here. Got two Ultra 10's running sol10 for web development
and serving a small website/mysql database via Apache. As a newbie and
after reading dozens of how-to's etc got all this working and felt
proud, coming from a Win background.

What I AM stumped with is getting either of the Ultra boxes to print to
a Laserjet5 with a jetdirect card. I've searched google, read the Sun
Big Admin document, spent all afternoon on HP's site and drawn a blank.
It seems Jetadmin software is the way to go (according to suns bigadmin
document). It seems Jetadmin solaris support ended with v8 or v9
(according to which document you believe on HP's site)

Please, please can someone point me to a Step by Step guide to enable my
Ultras to communicate with the Laserjet.

On windows, a wizard basically asked, a)what printer is it, b)whats its
IP addy, c) it then worked....... Why is it so complex on Solaris??

Many thanks,

Adrian
