Request help setting up IP printer w/Jetdirect card

[Glenn Burkhardt]

I have this exact configuration running (HP 4000 with JetDirect J3110A board).

The JetDirect board is wonderful - it was a snap to get working.  It directly
supports the lpd printer protocol, has an http server, and a telnet server.

It sounds like the problem you're having is on your local Linux system - check
the logs in /var/log to try to find out why your daemon dies.

My printcap entry is:

lp|lz0:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
        :mx#0:\
        :rm=hp4000:\
        :sh :\
        :rp=auto:

The instructions in the CDROM were pretty clear - you can check/change your
printer's configuration with either Netscape or telnet.

My setup worked right out of the box.  The only trick was disabling the banner
page - the only access to that switch is through telnet.
