| Hi. I hope you clever lot can help me... I'm trying to install a new network printer on an old HP-UX system (running on 725/100 boxes). There used to be an old printer (before I came in to contact with these machines), but it died and was binned. The printer is already on a network, and can be printed to by local Windows machines. When the time comes, it will be easy for me to get the printer's IP and MAC addresses (if required). My problem is that there seems to be nothing left of the old printer configuration on the HP-UX machines, which is surprising because the system administrator was made redundant (which he clearly was not!) before the old printer expired, and nobody else had the knowledge to make any changes to this - they just realised the printer was broke, and binned it. When I try to find an IP address to change (from the old printer to the new one), I can only find printers set to DEV/NULL (different printers on each of three machines), and when I try to install a new network printer, HP-UX asks for JetAdmin (or something similar) to be installed - it printed fine without it before. Extra info - the old printer was a QMS Magicolor CX, the 'new' printer is a QMS Magicolor 2. The machines have no internet access, and getting new files on to them would be a royal PITA, so could anyone guide me through setting this up with the software that's already installed? I know I'm asking for a lot of help, but TIA anyway -- Ian. |
