LaserJet to Sparc/SGI?

Post by da.. » Fri, 09 Aug 1996 04:00:00



Is there some way to connect a mass-produced printer to a unix
workstation such as a sparc or sgi?  I know that ghostscript will
convert PS input to output suitable for a HP LaserJet, but what port
and/or cable should I use?

I have used hpjetadmin, free download from HP, to provide connectivity to
laserjets (many) on our lan.  It works great and is easy to install.  Not
all HP laserjets have the postscript option, but the ones that do print
postscript fine.  I use them to print drawings from our cad system.  If
you are not networked, hpjetadmin may also work, I am not sure, try
looking at the documentaion from HP.

Cheers!!

 
 
 

1. HELP: HP Laserjet 1100 + SGI Octane

Hello.

I'm intending to add printing capability to my SGI workstation. As
described in the title, the printer I wish to add is an HP 1100
Laserjet. I've already looked into getting a printing system such as
ESP Printpro (www.easysw.com). The only problem to which there wasn't
any answer on the ESP website is: Which cable do I need? I'm assuming
that ESP uses allows for a SCSI interface. Could somebody enlighten me
as to wether or not this is true? Does this printer at all support
SCSI? I do know that ESP has software support for the 1100.

HP.com is quite unhelpful. :(

Thanks!!!!
