I trying to get an 2 HP printers which have "2876B ExtendNet" cards
installed to work with solaris 8.
I am using HP jetadmin software on my solaris 8 server to try and setup
this printer.
But i keep getting an error when trying to add it using "hppi":
I have many HP printers with HP jetdirect cards working OK like this, but
the extendnet card printers wont work.
How can I get them setup?
Also, when using a unix printer, how do you tell it to print on legal or
letter paper? Some of my printers only print letter and some only legal,
they work fine when used through windows to print.
Also if anyone knows a better way to administer these printers on solaris,
please let me know.
thank you in advance gurus.
