**VERY IMPORTANT** Did you add the host name for your printer to your hosts
file in /etc?
This is the name you entered from telneting to the printer.
Here is a sample of my /etc/qconfig file showing what I did to set up the
printer with a jet direct card.
ANY_HP:
device =@any_HP
up = TRUE
host = ANY_HP
s_statfilter = /usr/lib/lpd/aixshort
l_statfilter = /usr/lib/lpd/aixlong
rq = raw
@any_HP
backend = /usr/lib/lpd/rembak
For Landscape the only difference is
@any_HP
header = never
trailer = never
access = both
backend = /usr/lib/lpd/pio/etc/priorlfb -f !
actually it has been a while since I set up this printer. So I did 3 simple
tests
First one
Smit print
Add print Queue
Select HPJetDirect
Chose Hewlett-Packard
Chose Laser Jet 4+ (good generic printer driver)
Do NOT make this system a BootP/TFTP server
PCL name (enter the name of the actual Queue) I entered (Zoolo)
hostname of JetDirect Card (from when you telneted to the printer)
Hit enter and it will build the necessary files
Second One
Smit print
Add Print Queue
Select Remote printer
Chose the 3rd option about local filtering
Hewlett-Packard
4+
PCL queue name (I chose Zoola)
Hostname (enter the name from when you telneted to printer)
Queue name on Remote raw
Hit enter and it will build the necessary files
Third one
Same as # 2 but chose standard filtering
Did not work
Option 2 matched my current printer..
