How do I know what the hostname > and the IP adress of the JetDirect are? IP address and hostname? Or IP address and queue name? JetDirects used to have a default address of 192.0.0.192, I think, although that may not be the case any more. If you can telnet to the JetDirect, you can change the IP address and its local hostname. Some of the cheaper units may not have a default IP address assigned. You might have to run HP's JetAdmin software to configure these units initially. Dunno if there's a version of JetAdmin for anything other than Windows. After an IP address has been assigned, you can set up a hostname in /etc/hosts. (I've never been sure what purpose the hostname set in the JetDirect itself serves, other than when you have a bunch of them you can verify that you've got the right one.) There are two queue names you can use: "raw" is an untranslated queue that just passes everything through (most likely what you want), and "text" does some cooking of the input. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
