Re: FW: [SLE] So Very Frustrated :-(
Hi Mike,
I have gotten this to work in the past. Did you look at the Web Jetadmin program? http://www.hp.com/pond/wja/live/manual/html/wjacomp_linux.html There are both Linux and Windows flavors of it. I have gotten that to work in both environments to be able to detect and configure any JetDirect device I have ever plugged in.
Yes ...
Unfortunately, I have never been able to get the Print Queue Creation to work on Linux. I had to resort to manually doing that part.
It is SUCH a relief to hear someone say this as that is exactly where I am stalled with it ... I was beginning to believe it was me (well obviously it is as I lack the specific experience to set up the queues manually). JetAdmin, once I had downloaded and installed the updates, did detect my multiport JetDirect (and correctly identified the Epson 5700 Laser and Epson Stylus 600 on it) and the single port JetDirect with an HP 640C on it. I could not however get it to create a queue ... it kept coming back with an error something like "remote host is not running 'rexec'" and I'm thinking how can a JetDirect box run anything? Yes JetAdmin looks a very handy piece of kit and does everything apart from waht I actually want which is setting up print queues (so I can then share them and set up Samba for my family's Windows PC's .. I assume that's how it works).

I've checked it and it still all seems totally mystifying to me however I will try it .. thanks!
By the way, if anyone has gotten WebJetAdmin to be able to manage print queues on Linux servers, I would appreciate any pointers.

Why don't you use YaST2 for the print queues? Only HP can fix the Web Jetadmin if it is broken. Anyway, if you are looking for help then a better "Subject:" is preferred. Some people skip non-technical e-mails. -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
