Very Computer

Hi all,
  I'm having a problem getting Solaris 2.6 x86 to
print to my HP JetDirect EX+3 print server.
Unfortunity HP's jetdirect driver is not
an option for Solaris x86.  The printer works
perfectly with my Sparc10/Solaris 2.5/hpnp so
I know that the printer setup is ok.
  I've checked dejanews and tried www.docs.sun.com
(it no longer exist) and can't find any info
on Solaris x86 and network printing.
  All of the printer config files have changed
in Solaris 2.6 so I'm alittle lost.  I added
the remote printer with admintool and tweaked
the printers.conf alittle:
hp:\
        :bsdaddr=HPserver,hp:\
        :description=HPprintserver:\
        :spooling-type=cascade:
_default:\
        :use=hp:
_all:\
        :use=hp:

Now, the printer prints everything in one long
line (but atleast it's sort of working!), I guess
that I need to add a filter? But how?  The man on
printers.conf doesn't say anything about filters...
  Any help would be greatly appriecated!
                                TIA

There is a jetdirect version for Solaris X86,
but the last time I looked, it was not at the HP site.

A third party was distributing it free. I think the URL is

http://www.vividata.com

In Solaris 2.7 there is included drivers for network printers
and one can even set them up using the admintool
( of course real .......)

  Real Users never know what they want, but they always know when your
                       program doesn't deliver it.

Thanks to all that replied!  Vividata does have a beta version
of jetadmin for Solaris x86 and it works great!  You have
to sign up for a 30 day demo of their PostShop product to get it,
but it works fine without PostShop.  (PostShop sounds like an
interesting print driver/filter, but I don't think that I want to
spend $199 for it (Vividata should start a "non-commercial" use
program like Sun has and charge maybe $40 bucks for Postshop)).
