Printing to Multiple printers - HP JetDirect external server and SCO 5.0.2

Post by jlho.. » Mon, 03 Jul 2000 04:00:00



I'm looking at a client who wants to have print queues setup on his
OpenServer box. These queues will be printing to a single JetDirect 500
print server. This, perhaps, is a newbie question - I've never approached
this unique problem before - but I'm no stranger to SCO (OpenServer *or*
UnixWare) and this issue puzzles me greatly.

I have all the appropriate software, I believe. I have hpnpf running on
the box and can create queues left and right. I don't, however, know how
to specify a particular _port_ on the print server. Is this something I
can set within SCO?

tanks!!!

1. Printing to HP JetDirect EX Plus external print server

I'm trying to set up a print queue in SCO Unix System V Rel 3.2 using
an HP external print server.  I successfully configured the pring server,
but the manuals are not all that clear on how to set up the print queue in
SCO, I've tried to follow the directions in the SCO manual for setting up
a network printer, but obviously I'm missing something.

Can anyone elighten me?  Assume we're starting from scratch.

TIA
