CMS Network Printer 1

Do you have existing network printers? If you do, you use the JetAdmin toolset to add additional printers. The JetAdmin tools are placed on the CMS by Ayava when you purchase network printing. If ther are no network printers installed you may want to consifder using Avaya. They will do up to 6 printers for the initial fee.

I tried to setup network printing via host names and when I hit the brick wall I called Avaya. They stated that host name printing is NOT supported and I should put the IP addresses back in the ETC/HOSTS file.
Now I have no IP printing because the LAN Geeks wont give the IP address back. I use a small task scheduler on a timer through Centervu Supervisor to run reporting scripts.

Network printers are already installed, but when I type "jetadmin" at the root prompt, it says Not Found. Is there another way that it could be done? It's very strange. I see the printers in CMS, but I can't find where they were initially added into Unix.

Has anyone figured out how to add Network printers on CMS R12. I also cannot find jetadmin.

Jetadmin is a HP product. This link should take you there
If it's not a HP printer, go the the printer makers web site and look for their Solaris drivers. I know Xerox also do these drivers.
or try this
NOTE: The JETDIRECT card must have a firmware revision of X.03.XX or higher to support LPD printing.
I haven't tried it on other printer makes but it should work.
1. At the unix prompt type : lpsystem –t bsd [lpname of the jetdirect card]
NOTE: The "lpname of the JetDirect Card" is the name associated with the HP JetDirect Card's IP address in the /etc/hosts file. This command tells the Solaris that the HP JetDirect Card is a BSD-Type system.
2. Type : lpadmin –p Printername –s [lpname of JetDirect Card]!text
NOTE: The "Printername" following the –p is the printer or queue name on the Solaris station. The "!text" after the "Lpname of JetDirect Card" could also be "!raw". Use "!text" for unformatted ASCII files; this adds the Carriage Return/Line Feed terminator to the end of each line. This will prevent stair stepping with typical UNIX ASCII text. Use "!raw" for Postscript, PCL or other formatted files.
3. Type : lpadmin –p PrinterName –T unknown –I any
NOTE: the "-T" option tells the Solaris System that the printer type is unknown, and the "-I" option tells it that it can accept any type of print job.
4. Type: enable Printer Name
5. Type: accept Printer Name
The HP Jet Direct Card is now configured for LPD Printing. Use the following command to send files to the HP Jet Direct Card:
lp –d Printer Name <filename>
6. Link the UNIX printer name to a CMS printer name in the CMS menus.
Do ask Avaya for support as they won't give you any.
