Hello,

Is there a way to use a network printer connected through
ethernet cable to a Linux box? In particular, I'm looking for a
server software equivalent to JetDirect/Admin provided by HP for
windows.

Thank you for your time.
S.

We have a HP Jet-Direct Printer working with Linux. You don't need this
Software. Once you configured the Network-Interface of the Printer, you
can telnet to it and do adjustments online.

To setup Networking we used a Windows Computer ;-(. But this only needs
to be done once.

hi

it seems that at this page you can find what you search
http://www.hp.com/cposupport/networking/software/hpwj_linux_en.tar.gz.html

when you have configured your printer, you can put a new printer into
your /etc/printcap.

:hp_printer|rp=PRINTERNAME:sh:rm=192.168.0.1:sd=/var/spool/lpd/HP

this is a configuration you can enter to the printcap.you should replace
PRINTERNAME with the name of the spooler on the printer.

I hope this help
