Is anyone using an HP JetDirect print server with Suse? If so, do you know what I need to do to install or hook up to it?
I am using CUPS and I set up access to a JetDirect using YaST2. The process is similar 7.3 and 8.0. I don't remember if it was the same with versions less than 7.3. Also, I've only used JetDirects that were configured for TCP/IP. Not sure how well it works if the JetDirect is only configured for IPX.
That's almost what worked for me. Then I read Robert Paulson's post a couple of weeks ago:
I have an HP LaserJet network printer and was able to set up access to it via Yast2 on both SuSE 7.3 and SuSE 8.0, so it can be done.
One thing you say that confuses me is that you have multiple printers on the same IP address. I am not sure how this can be possible (but since I only have one printer myself perhaps I just don't know what the implications are). Perhaps each is on a different queue name?
They can use the same IP address and use a different port for each printer. For example, 192.168.x.y:9100 is the default for printer #1, :9101 for printer #2, etc. -ronc -- 10:24am up 2 days, 13:12, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.00
