- People have been asking about the TCP/IP card for LaserJet printers (via
- e-mail). I'll summarize information here.
-
- (US$895.00) C2059T: LaserJet IIISi or DesignJet Plotter
- (US$895.00) C2071T: LJ II, IID, III, or IIID for thin coax
- (US$895.00) C2071S: LJ II, IID, III, or IIID for twisted-pair
-
- Given one of the above, you must also order one of the following
- options.
-
- (US$100.00) AA0 - 1/4" tape for HP-UX
- (US$100.00) AAH - DAT tape for HP-UX
- (US$100.00) AAV - 1/4" tape for SunOS
- ( $0.00 ) 1AK - No software tape.
-
- Given the above, you must also order one of the following options.
-
- ABA - English
- ABD - German
- ABE - Spanish
- ABF - French
- ABN - Norwegian
- ABS - Swedish
- ABZ - Italian
- ABJ - Japanese (for the C2059T only)
-
- So, if you order a TCP/IP card for the IIISi that's meant to be used on
- a SunOS system in Italy, you'd order C2059T-AAV-ABZ.
-
- Note, the tape contains the drivers and filters needed to install a
- master spooler on one system. If you plan on having multiple master
- spoolers, I recommend copying the tape to a system in a permanent store
- directory. To install a master spooler, ftp all files in that directory
- to the target system in /usr/lib/hpnp, preserving file structure. Then
- following the installation instructions that come with the tape. You can
- do this between HP and SunOS systems, too. (The data on the tape is the
- same, regardless of whether it's in Sun or HP tape format.)
-
- Note, if you want to purchase cards for multiple printers, you only need
- to order the tape option once. Suppose in the Italian example above,
- you also want to order a TCP/IP card for the DesignJet plotter and 3
- TCP/IP cards for a IIID on twisted-pair, with a mix of HP and SunOS
- (Sparc) systems. The order would then be:
-
- Quantity - Part Number - Option 1 - Option 2 - Unit Price - Total Price
- 1 C2059T AAV ABZ $995.00 $995.00
- 1 C2059T 1AK ABZ $895.00 $995.00
- 3 C2071S 1AK ABZ $895.00 $2685.00
-
- The install tape would be copied onto a SunOS system, and then ftp'ed to
- all systems you want to be master spoolers. You'd follow the
- installation structions for installing the master spooler on all desired
- systems. The master spooler can be either HP-UX or SunOS, as long as
- the system has ftp access to whatever system you copied the install
- tape onto.
-
- If you happen to purchase the JetDirect card without any software, you
- may find the card unusable. You need to purchase the appropriate tape
- and format for your systems. Use the following part numbers when
- purchasing the tape without the card.
-
- C2850-13301: 1/4" tape for HP-UX (option AA0 above)
- C2850-13601: DDS (DAT) tape for HP-UX (option AAH above)
- 5010-9808: 1/4" tape for SunOS (option AAV above)
