Hi Sun Managers,

MY ORIGINAL POST:

I have just installed Solaris 2.5.1 on a Sparc5 and intended to make
this machine a print server. So far I have no output to the printer
at all, even tried to print a small text file. The network printer model is HP 4MV.

I installed the HP JetAdmin Utility for Unix CD-Rom (For Solaris 2.2 - 2.3.
This Utility came with the printer when I bought it 2 years ago) and
was able to configure the printer via this utility.

The following tasks has been sucessfully done:

1. Verified the installation of software.
2. Examined spooler operation.
3. Tested Network Printer's accessibility.
4. Printed a test page to printer.
5. Ping the printer.

Am I missing something here ? Do I need the update version of
JetAdmin Tool for Solaris 2.5.1 ? Please give me advices ?

SOLUTIONS:

Most people who reponded to my questions has suggested to down load a
new version of HP JetAdmin for Solaris 2.5.1 from HP Web Site. I
downloaded the new version yesterday. Remove the old version of HP
JetAdmin. Installed the new version and within 30 minutes I got the
Sparc5 (Print Server) and the HP4MV Printer UP and PRINTING :)

Web site: www.hp.com
The downloaded file name: sol_pkgadd.d0315
