Please review this file prior to installing JetAdmin for OS/2
version A.03.10. This file contains last-minute changes and
information not included in other documentation.
The latest version of JetAdmin for OS/2 may be found at the
Hewlett-Packard support website:
http://www.hp.com/go/support
Search for "OS/2 Warp JetAdmin".

A. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
For OS/2 Warp 4, there is no need to install the Spooler Pak.
The Spooler Pak version 8.253 is required for HP JetAdmin for
OS/2 Warp to function properly on OS/2 Warp 3.x based systems.
HP JetAdmin for OS/2 does not support DLC protocol printers with
OS/2 Warp Server SMP. TCP/IP protocol printers are supported.
HP JetAdmin for OS/2 supports a maximum of 32 ports per server.
*************************************************************************
B. CID REQUIREMENTS
HP JetAdmin for OS/2 version A.03.10 has been enhanced to allow a CID
installation of queues and ports. This capability is dependent on
obtaining a new version of the Remote Multiple Printer Installation
program (RINSTPRN.EXE) from IBM. To obtain RINSTPRN.EXE visit the
IBM Software Choice website:
http://www.software.ibm.com/os2warp.
For HP Network Printers, the keywords vary somewhat from those found
in the IBM sample response files. The following examples should be
used for installing HP Network Ports.
Example 1: DLC Port
ADDPORT
NAME=PORT1
PORTDRIVER=HPPD
SRCPATH=c:\os2\dll
CARD_ADDRESS=0 - 080009B492B6
CONN_TYPE=0
PORT_VIEW=51
ENDPORT
ADDQUEUE
NAME=QUEUE1
PORT=PORT1
DRIVERNAME=LASERJET.HP LaserJet 5/5M
ENDQUEUE
DEFINEQUEUEPROPS
ORIENTATION=Landscape
DUPLEX=Book
ENDQUEUEPROPS
NOTE: CARD_ADDRESS = adapter number - MAC address
CONN_TYPE 0=continuous connection, 1=job based connection
Example 2: TCP/IP Port
ADDPORT
NAME=PORT2
PORTDRIVER=HPPD
SRCPATH=c:\os2\dll
CARD_ADDRESS=15.39.123.45
CONN_TYPE=0
PORT_VIEW=51
ENDPORT
ADDQUEUE
NAME=QUEUE2
PORT=PORT2
DRIVERNAME=LASERJET.HP LaserJet 5Si Mopier
ENDQUEUE
DEFINEQUEUEPROPS
ORIENTATION=Landscape
DUPLEX=Book
ENDQUEUEPROPS

C. KNOWN ISSUES
Issue: All printers are not discovered with TCP/IP broadcast
discovery selected.
Cause: Broadcast discovery results can vary based on network
bandwidth, network latency, JetDirect card status, and
NIC BIOS and drivers.
Solution: Open the JetAdmin Port Settings notebook and select the
'TCP/IP Discovery' page. Change the selected 'Search
Local Subnet' option from 'Broadcast' to 'Subnet Ping'.
Issue: After changing the 802.2 Queue Elements setting to 1400,
the message "unrecoverable error, see log file" appears
when attempting to access the port view.
Solution: Verify that the setting for Queue Elements in JetAdmin
does not exceed the value for Maximum Queue Elements in
MPTS.
Issue: Printers discovered on remote subnets appear in the
printers list but do not show complete printer status
Solution: This behavior is typically observed when discovering
a printer across multiple routers. The correct status
of the printer is displayed in the Port Options page.
Issue: The Spooler Pak can not be installed on an OS/2 Warp 4
system.
Solution: There is no need to update the spooler on OS/2 Warp 4.
