Change IP Address in a jetdirect spool queue on Hp-Ux 10.20

[Ste]

Hi all,

I need to make a change in an old Hp-Ux 10.20 system. First, seems
strnage to me when I login no command prompts results. For example

# cd /etc
# ls
#

And /etc ofcourse is not empty! If I made find /etc I see many files.

Primary problem is that I've got a print queue called hp4000 and is
queue configured for JetDirect printing. Using 'sam' and accessing to
jetdirect menu I'm not able to change IP address of printer.

Where's the configuration file? I hope it's possible to change it by
hand. But how?

Thanks
Ste

Look in /etc/lp/interface, grep for PERIPH= in the queue file, it will
show the hostname or address.

Yes, but does this allow you to *change* the ip address of an existing
printer? Or only allow you to delete and then recreate the printer (with the
new ip address)?

You can telnet the machine
and therefore change the ip

you are right :)
it doesn't work like 'jppi'. It only allows other changes.

great suggestion :P

- why you are top-posting?

there are several reason why you can't change the printer ip.
ip can be in use on other peripherals, you changed the ip in the printer
because you changed subnet for the printer, you can have other stuff
pointing to that ip.

in other word if you need yo change the ip in jetadmin config file you
ask for this, if you want to change ip to the printer you ask for this.

Edit the PERIPH= entry for the printer in /etc/lp/interface, then stop and
restart the LP spooler (/sbin/init.d/lp stop & /sbin/init.d/lp start).

Ste,

I suspect the ip is defined in your /etc/hosts file. At least, it should
be there.

As Alan recommended, check the "hp4000" file in /etc/lp/interface by
grepping for "PERIPH=". If it returns "hp4000", you are using the hosts
file. So, if the ip of the printer (jetdirect) has changed, simply vi
the /etc/hosts file and update the ip of the "hp4000" entry.

Ping the printer by name. It should resolve the new ip and be successful.

If you see the old ip address of "hp4000", then vi the
/etc/lp/interface/hp4000 file. Update the ip address.

Ping the printer by ip. It should be successful.

Send a test print.

Or, delete the print queue and add a new queue using hppi or jetadmin.
SAM actually calls one of these network printer interfaces.

Hope this helps...
