Set it up just like any other remote printer on SCO, just forget about the remote queue directory and/or name.


<div>
I've tried setting it up as a remote system, with both system 5 and bsd schedulers, and it did not work. If I send a file to it, it just sits in the queue, but the plotter never receives anything.<br />
<br />
Once again, I have no problems pinging or telnetting to the plotter, or plotting to it from a Windows PC.<br />
<br />
Any suggestions?<br />

AFAIK, the plotter has an Idle Timeout. Set it to 120 or higher.<br />
This helped at my HP LaserJet.<br />

Hello all!<br />
<br />
I have a DesignJet 700 hooked up to the network through a JetDirect card.<br />
<br />
I am able to telnet to this plotter, as well as retrieve its status using &quot;hpnpadmin&quot; provided by SCO, but I cannot send anything to it.<br />
<br />
I've tried using SCO's printing utility &quot;hpnpf&quot;, and could not get it to work. I've also tried setting up a remote print queue using the plotter's IP address as the connection, and it did not work either.<br />
<br />
Any ideas or suggestions?<br />
<br />
Thank you.

Hello all!

I have a DesignJet 700 hooked up to the network through a JetDirect card.

I am able to telnet to this plotter, as well as retrieve its status using "hpnpadmin" provided by SCO, but I cannot send anything to it.

I've tried using SCO's printing utility "hpnpf", and could not get it to work. I've also tried setting up a remote print queue using the plotter's IP address as the connection, and it did not work either.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thank you.

Printing to HP Jet Direct from SCO SVR4 v.2.1

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
