[U2] Printronix + HP-Ux + JetDirect
We have a legacy Printronix P300 greenbar printer that we would like to LAN-connect to our new HP-Ux server via an external HP JetDirect print server. I took a stab at a few of the generic drivers that come bundled with HP-Ux... without luck. Comments would be appreciated.

RE: [U2] Printronix + HP-Ux + JetDirect
Don't treat it as HP Jetdirect, instead, use the printer server in lpd/lpr mode, and use rm=printername (with IP set in /etc/hosts), and rq=raw or print or LPT1 depending on the printer server. Ours works fine that way.

Sorry, Bill, but I can't resist... Call HP comes to mind... You do have support on the HP-Ux system, don't you?

Re: [U2] Printronix + HP-Ux + JetDirect
use the "dumb" driver (no thats not a joke) it outputs just plain ol ascii which is what that printer will want to deal with. You can telnet to the jet direct and set it up from there. I've done a few of these and once the jetdirect is setup to only send ascii, and the HP-UX system see's it as a "dumb" printer then you'll be fine.

Re: [U2] Printronix + HP-Ux + JetDirect
Note that a JetDirect will have two predefined queues, if you use lpd-style printing. "raw" will pass the byte-stream directly to the print engine, and tends to produce strange results with unix text files :-) "text" intelligently handles crlf and variants... (basically, "lf implies cr") Cheers, Wol use the "dumb" driver (no thats not a joke) it outputs just plain ol ascii which is what that printer will want to deal with.
