Anyone successfully using a HP 8000 DN (with JetDirect module and IP) with samba?

[Burkhard Weeber]

Hello,

it should work this way:

Create an entry in /etc/printcap as remote printer with the IP-address of the printer(-server). The remote queue is RAW for the JetDirect Card or RAW1-RAW3 for the printer server. These Names are sometimes mentioned in the manuals.
Then install the Windows printer driver for a remote printer on your workstation.

If anything goes wrong use a program to connect to port 9100-9102 on the printer server (PORT1-PORT3).

Hope it helps....

Anyone successfully using a HP 8000 DN or HP 5 Lsi (with JetDirect module
and assigned IP)  with samba?

Subject says it all.  If you're successfully doing this, what configs made
it work?  FAQs
tell how to set up with a print server, but what if the printer itself is
the server?  Trust me,
the HP doesn't know jack about port 139.

Using samba 2.0.4 on Solaris 7 and NT 4.0 SP5 with hotfixes.

TIA
