Adding JetDirect Remote printer

2007-12-25 11:57:00

Thanks, to everyone that replied.

The answer was to get a copy of JetAdmin for Solaris from HP's

Some folk's misunderstood my question or I did not explain it fully.

I have a local printer off of /dev/term/a and wanted to add a remote

network printer.

I did download the JetAdmin software and installed it, but I still

get the same output from lpstat-t. I can print to the network printer

without problem, I just can not get the status of the queue or state

of the printer.

Again Thanks to everyone.
