For weeks now, I’ve been trying to configure my Solaris client to print to a network-attached HP LaserJet 2200dn printer and I finally got it working today. It’s probably really easy for an experienced systems administrator but there were a few gotchas that caught me out – hopefully my experiences will help someone else out.<\/p>\n

In many ways the Solaris Print Manager makes setting up a printer easy, but there were some important settings I needed to use (I found some of this on an HP support document<\/a>, but there was also a lot of trial and error involved as I don’t think the advice in HP’s document applies to Solaris 10 x86):<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. For an HP LaserJet 2200, the recommended printer driver was Foomatic\/Postscript – I didn’t use this but selected Foomatic\/hpijs instead.<\/li>\n
  2. The destination is more than just the IP address or hostname of the print server (i.e. the LPD service on the printer’s JetDirect card) – I needed to append :RAW (LPD queues can be configured through the printer’s own web administration console).<\/li>\n
  3. The protocol is BSD (not TCP as I expected).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    One really handy feature is the ability to show the command line console, on which all the commands issued by the print manager will be displayed. Using this, I was able to determine that the commands to configure my printer (now saved as a shell script) were:<\/p>\n

    lpadmin -p hplj2200dn -v \/dev\/null -A write -n \/usr\/lib\/lp\/model\/ppd\/system\/foomatic\/HP\/HP-LaserJet_2200-hpijs.ppd.gz -i \/usr\/lib\/lp\/model\/netstandard_foomatic -o dest=printer1:RAW -o protocol=bsd -I postscript -u allow:all
    \nlpadmin -p hplj2200dn -D \"Laser printer in Mark's Den (duplex\/network)\"
    \nlpadmin -d hplj2200dn
    \nenable hplj2200dn
    \naccept hplj2200dn<\/code><\/p>\n

    These will, of course, vary by model. Note that the first (very long) line will wrap on this web page – each of the first three commands should begin with lpadmin<\/span>.<\/p>\n

    Don’t be put off by error messages after the enable and accept commands:<\/p>\n

    UX:enable: ERROR: Can’t establish contact with the LP print service. TO FIX: Either the LP print service has stopped, or all message channels are busy. If the problem continues, get help from your system administrator.
    \nUX:accept: ERROR: Can’t establish contact with the LP print service. TO FIX: Either the LP print service has stopped, or all message channels are busy. If the problem continues, get help from your system administrator.<\/em><\/p>\n

    These fooled me for a while but I think the problem was just that the printer had not yet been established when I tried to enable it. By waiting a few seconds and re-issuing the last two commands, everything jumped into life.<\/p>\n

    I don’t know why there is a postscript reference in there – as far as I know this is a PCL printer, but it seems to work.<\/p>\n

    Finally, the commands to remove the printer (also now saved as a shell script) are:<\/p>\n

    reject hplj2200dn
    \nlpadmin -x _default
    \nlpadmin -x hplj2200dn<\/code><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
