Thanks to Bill Hassel, Jeff Lightner and Dan Zucker for the replies.
I followed Bill's suggestion to use simple script below. It works like a
charm.
----------------------
#!/usr/bin/sh
# Find all JetDirect printer names and IP addresses
# and create a remove and add script
QTY=0
JETDIR="/opt/hpnpl/bin"
LPDIR="/etc/lp/interface"
for PRN in $(grep ^PERIPH= $LPDIR/*)
do
QUEUE=$(basename $(echo $PRN | cut -d: -f1))
IP=$(echo $PRN | cut -d= -f2)
$JETDIR/removequeue -q $QUEUE
$JETDIR/addqueue -q $QUEUE -h $IP
Done
-----------------------
Regards,
Edi

JetAdmin was obsolete and deprecated in 1999 because of Y2K issues.
No one should be running JetAdmin. The new product is not called
JetAdmin, but is called HPPI (HP Printer Installer) which is what
you have on your 11.11 system. DO NOT create a link between the
two directories.
Your 11.00 system must be updated to HPPI. Get a copy from:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?locale=e
n_US&pnameOID=18922&taskId=135&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=27349&lang=en&c
c=us
(sorry for the ugly URL...)
Install it on you 11.00 system and you'll have HPPI (which is the
name of the interactive menu. Uninstall JetAdmin using swremove.
Make a list of all your printers by name and IP. The names of all
your network printers can be obtained by this simple script:
-------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/sh
set -u
export PATH=/usr/bin
# Find all JetDirect printer names and IP addresses
# and create a remove and add script
QTY=0
LPDIR="/etc/lp/interface"
JETDIR="/opt/hpnpl"
for PRN in $(grep ^PERIPH= $LPDIR/*)
do
QUEUE=$(basename $(echo $PRN | cut -d: -f1))
IP=$(echo $PRN | cut -d= -f2)
echo "$$JETDIR/removequeue -q $QUEUE"
echo "$JETDIR/addqueue -q $QUEUE -h $IP"
let QTY=$TY+1
done
echo "# $QTY JetDirect printers found"
-------------------------------------------------------------
The output of this script is a series of commands which
will convert all your 11.00 jetadmin printers to HPPI
printers (actually, it just replaces the two scripts with
the correct ones). You can use the same script on your 11.11
system.

Hi All,#!/usr/bin/sh
# Find all JetDirect printer names and IP addresses
# and create a remove and add script
QTY=0
JETDIR="/opt/hpnpl/bin"
LPDIR="/etc/lp/interface"
for PRN in $(grep ^PERIPH= $LPDIR/*)
do
QUEUE=$(basename $(echo $PRN | cut -d: -f1))
IP=$(echo $PRN | cut -d= -f2)
echo "$JETDIR/removequeue -q $QUEUE"
echo "$JETDIR/addqueue -q $QUEUE -h $IP"
done
I have 2 servers running 11.00 and 11.11. The 11.00 has
JetAdmin D.06.21 intalled, whereas the 11.11 one has
JetDirect E.10.34.
For the migration, I have cloned the printer config on the
old server with the new one. But some printers don't seem to
work on the new server. Obviously it's because JetAdmin's
installation directory is /opt/hpnp, whereas JetDirect's is
/opt/hpnpl.
Question: Do I have to install JetAdmin on the new server
(not a good choice), or creating a link /opt/hpnp ->
/opt/hpnpl will solve the problem?
Regards,
Edi
