I'd like to know the answer to this one as well!
I've placed an entry in /etc/hosts for the JetDirect box and have the JetDirect stuff installed on the server.
I was advised to use 'smit' but haven't been having much luck, I think my sticking point is 'HOSTNAME of the JetDirect Card'.
In my case, I wish the queue to be called 'lsapq01'.

foomatic-getpjloptions
FOOMATIC-GETPJLOPTIONS(8) System Manager's Manual FOOMATIC-GETPJLOPTIONS(8)
NAME
foomatic-getpjloptions - <put a short description here>
SYNOPSIS
foomatic-getpjloptions device
foomatic-getpjloptions hostname port
DESCRIPTION
foomatic-getpjloptions Sends a set of PJL commands and reads back the PJL options and status from a printer over a network connection or
device bidirectional interface such as parallel, USB, serial. printers to standard output. The output can be piped into foomatic-addpjlop-
tions to add options to the database.
Options
device The interface to which a local printer is connected, e.g. /dev/lp0, /dev/usb/lp0, /dev/tty00, etc. For a parallel port, you must
have bidirectional support enabled at the BIOS level and the parallel port driver must support the bidirectional mode. Check
your parallel port BIOS settings for EPP/bi-directional mode.
hostname Host name or IP address of a network printer (HP JetDirect, DLINK, etc.).
port Port on which your network printer listens for socket (Appsocket) connections. Most common ports are 9100 (JetDirect), 10000
(DLINK). Usually you can configure the port via a configuration interface.
EXIT STATUS
foomatic-getpjloptions returns ???
AUTHOR
Manfred Wassmann <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de> for the foomatic project using output from the associated binary. Modified by Patrick Pow-
ell <papowell at lprng.com> to provide betters support for network printers, error messages, and remove CR and FF from output.
WARNINGS
Uni-directional protocols as remote LPD are not supported as no status is returned. Some network print servers which attach to a printer
parallel port do not support bidirectional mode.
