I have a problem with my HP Printerserver HP JetDirect 500X.
Or maybe better to say, ther is a printer, that I cannot get inay printing from, if I want to print something out from my SuSE 10.0 Eval.
The ports are setup to use 9100 and 9101 for TCP printing.
My HL5040 Laserprinter on port 9100 is printing ok.
But not my HP DJ895Cxi. When I set it up, I printed out an ok test to it, but it will not print from a document.
The DeskJet prints a few characters successfully but not a whole big document? This indicates that you must set up the right parallel port settings in the JetDirect box according to what the DeskJet needs. See the documentation of the JetDirect box how to do it.
I tried with nmap:
nmap -v 192.168.1.3 ... No 9101 port is shown here ????
Port 9101 is not listed in /usr/share/nmap/nmap-services therefore it is not tested by default with nmpa. See the Suse "Administration Manual" or the nmap man page how to scan particular ports (i.e. use the '-p' switch).
From the /var/log/messages I have this:

Do you really use the "hp" backend? If yes, make sure the required hplip services are up and running, see http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2005/02/jsmeix_print-einrichten-93.html You should prefer the "socket" backend when you access the printer via TCP socket on a printserver box, see http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/05/jsmeix_print-cups-in-a-nutshell.html "The Backends" Kind Regards Johannes Meixner -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5 Mail: jsmeix@suse.de 90409 Nuernberg, Germany WWW: http://www.suse.de/
