Re: [foxboro] IA System printing to Network printers

I haven't done this in 3 years at least, but I have had pretty good luck 
using the HP Jetadmin software to do this.  First you will need to get the 
jetadmin software for your version of Solaris.  I found this on HPs web 
site, but it was several years ago.  I have included a link on how to setup 
the software once you get it.

After it is installed, you need to edit the /etc/printers file to make the 
new printers available to the I/A system.

Probably a good idea to back this file up first.  I od'ed and it looks like 
it's just tabs separating the fields.
Mine looks like this
#pg /etc/printers
hp4     0010    PS Laserjet 4
hp5     0010    PS Laserjet 5

This seems to work well for printscreens, and normal printing functions 
from I/A.  I have not had good luck using this setup as an alarm printer.

Hope this helps.

David Johnson
