Dear HP-UX friends

how can I use the hp color laserjet printer 3500 from HP-UX 10.20 (hp 712)?

Using sam to configure a remote printer I must write
the remote host (I put the IP address of the printer)
and then I must write the printer name. What shall I write there?

I suppose 2 pieces of hp hardware and hp OS should be able
to talk to each other, shouldn't they?

And how about other unix systems?
In Mandrake Linux 10 (hp Compaq d530)
I get "Failed to configure printer".

Thanks for any help

Pavel,

I assume given you're trying to add this as a remote printer that the
3500 is connected to the network via it's JetDirect interface onto the LAN.

The SAM "Remote Printer" bit won't work, this is for attaching to a
remote lpd on another system (UN*X or other), not directly viable for
JetDirect attached printers which expect a direct TCP connection on port
9100.

You need to to do is get hold of the JetDirect Printer Installer
software from:

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport...&lang=en&cc=us

(if this fails just go to http://www.hp.com/cposupport and search on
"JetDirect" and choose your OS.

As for other (Linux) systems, the CUPS package (Common Unix Printing
System) interfaces directly [sic] with JetDirect printers under Linux, I
believe Mandrake has this as standard, as does RedHat, Fedora [insert
favorite distro here]...

For Window$, go to "http://www.hp.com/cposupport", enter you printer
model and select "download drivers and software" and then your OS
version and you're away.

Hope it helps,

Jimbo
