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.
