Help with JetAdmin

I'm trying to add a receipt printer to our server using JetAdmin. I've assigned an IP address to the printer and can ping it from the Unix level, however, when I go into JetAdmin to configure it, I get a message that says it can't communicate with the device. Why would it ping from the Unix level and not ping inside JetAdmin? Smilie

Also, once I do get past this point does anyone know what type of driver I would use for it. It is an Itacha 610 receipt printer. Smilie

Help with Jetadmin

Hello, Has anyone ever moved a print server using jetadmin to another box? If so, how? There is a script that is installed with the software that is supposed to do the migration but it just moves the files in /etc/lp/interfaces but does not set up the printers. Any suggestions and/or advice? ...

Any sub for Jetadmin?

Is there any other software that can sub our lame Jetadmin any for free?

HP Printer without SMC, Admintool, or Jetadmin

Jetadmin fails saying that it is not a network printer despite the fact that it is and can be pinged from UNIX. I am administering this remotely (long remote, I can't go there soon) and can't run smc or admintool. Any help configuring this spooler would be appreciated.

lpt

LPT(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						    LPT(4)

NAME

     lpt -- generic printer device driver

SYNOPSIS

     device ppc
     device ppbus
     device lpt

DESCRIPTION

     The current lpt driver is the port of the original lpt driver to the ppbus(4) system.

     One purpose of this port was to allow parallel port sharing with other parallel devices.  Secondly, inb()/outb() calls have been replaced by
     ppbus function calls.  lpt is now arch-independent thanks to the ppbus interface.	See ppbus(4) for more info about the ppbus system.

     The parallel port bus is allocated by lpt when the printer device is opened and released only when the transfer is completed: either when the
     device is closed or when the entire buffer is sent in interrupt driven mode.

     The driver can be configured to be either interrupt-driven, or to poll the printer.  Ports that are configured to be interrupt-driven can be
     switched to polled mode by using the lptcontrol(8) command.

     Depending on your hardware, extended capabilities may be configured with the lptcontrol(8) command.  With an ECP/ISA port, you can take
     advantage of FIFO and DMA.

     In order to retrieve printer info from /dev/lpt0, just apply the cat command to the device.  If the printer supports IEEE1284 nibble mode and
     has data to send to the host, you will get it.

FILES

     /dev/lpt0			       first parallel port driver

SEE ALSO

     ppbus(4), ppc(4), lptcontrol(8)

HISTORY

     This driver replaces the functionality of the lpa driver, which is now defunct.

BUGS

     There are lots of them, especially in cheap parallel port implementations.

     It is only possible to open a lpt port when a printer is connected and on-line, making it impossible to run lptcontrol(8) when there is no
     printer connected.

     This driver could still stand a rewrite.
