Sigh.  Must be the full moon...

Ever wonder about the relative merits of using an HP printer utility to
print to a non-HP print server?  It can be done, but not with the Netgear
PS110.

You have 3ea choices.
1.  You can butcher the HPNP scripts in accordance with:
        How do I configure the HP JetDirect EX Plus3 Print
        Server to use HPNP?
        http://aplawrence.com/cgi-bin/ta.pl?105327
However, instead of using ports 9100 and 9101, try using 4010 and 4020.  I
haven't bothered to actually try this so you get to learn by destroying.
See:
        http://www.cruzio.com/~jeffl/sco/lp/printservers.htm
for a shopping list of port numbers and what ports are used by HP print
servers.  

2.  Use lpr/lpd to print the PS110.  SCO lpr/lpd is rather buggy but will
work if you don't bury it in zillions of small files at once.  See:
        http://aplawrence.com/cgi-bin/ta.pl?104997
for the general idea.  The Netgear lpr queue names are buried in the
"Technical Info" PDF document on their web pile.

3.  Use Netcat.  See:
        http://www.cruzio.com/~jeffl/sco/lp/netgear.htm
for my setup instructions for a Netgear PS104.  Just add the 2nd printer
port to /etc/printers and it should work.

For obvious reasons, I prefer choice #3.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
