Hi there !

Can anybody tell what's special about HP network printers? Even the Solaris
man pages treat them in s special manner and indeed, I'm havong some
trouble now.

On an old E280R running Solaris 8, JetAdmin is installed and printing on a
LJ4100 work perfectly. Now I have a V20z running Solaris 10 and printing to
that HP work as long as I use the E280R as print server. I have configured
a local printer on the V20z and it doesn't work. The funny thing is that
when I configure it exactly the same way on the SPARC box (not using
JetAdmin), it also works.
It seems that some traffic arrives at the printer as it complains about
paper mismatch. But I requested A4 which is definitely present.

/etc/lp/printers/jet4100 looks like this:

Banner: off
Content types: postscript
Device: /dev/null
Interface: /usr/lib/lp/model/netstandard_foomatic
Printer type: PS
Modules:
Options: dest=jet4100:9100,protocol=tcp

and I also tried it without port 9100

Any ideas?
