If you can ping the printer through sam calling jetdirectPrinter Installer should also work...
Have you a printer on same network (next to you...) you can test with like creatin yet again the printer under another name and see what is happening?

Ufortunately, i haven't been able to find a similar printer on the same network. so i can't test creating a new print queue.

i'm thinking to just add the printer via the command line, but i'm unfamiliar with the lpadmin command to add a new printer. Could you help me with it? thanks!

Assuming the printer is correctly configured (may not be the case... so try to telnet to the printer it should give you a prompt...) you can
Code:
#/opt/hpnpl/bin/addqueue -h IP-address -q printer-name -L <num>
L: is the numeric the value of the model e.g.r if memory serves me lj4x is 7...

Hello,
in hppi laserjet4 (net_lj4x) is 47.

BUT !

Newer low cost models like CLJ2605DN are not working with hppi (jetdirect). Set up has to be done as rprinter.


Regards

i can telnet to the printer, using the IP address or the printer's name.
But adding the printer with the addqueue command, it came back saying it couldn't connect to the printer.
Ok, the best thing is to add the printer as a remote printer, but specifying another printer queue or setup to copy from.
Can you guys help to do this, as i've never had to add a printer via a command line, so i'm lost.
Thanks again for all your help.

You realize you will have (almost) no options recognized?

I wonder if its not worth double checking the lot by starting all from the begining if you agree:
Your host OS: hpux version?

Your printer: model? what is the jetdirect version

HPUX software now:
what do you have installed for Jetdirect: (use swlist...
e.g.
Code:
J4189-11001C              E.10.34        Hewlett-Packard JetDirect Printer Installer for Unix
Following bdittmar's remark
