I will be installing a External HP Jet Direct connected to a Parallel
printer and was wondering:

1. What AIX HP printer driver to specify when setting up the AIX virtual
queue.
2. What's the port number for the Parallel port off the External Jet Direct?

We'll be using a serial dot matrix printer across a WAN link, so it's not
really a 'HP device'. This is for AIX 4.3.2. The AIX printer driver
selections I have to choose from are:
HP II
HP III
HP III si
HP IV
HP IV+
HP 4000
HP IVsi
HP IVv
HP Vsi
HP VsiMopier
HP 8000

Thanks.

If you're using a dot matrix type of printer, perhaps the generic ASCII may be a
better choice than an HP laser printer model. Single port JetDirect servers
(both internal and external) accept incoming print requests on TCP port 9100.
