Verifies that all the software needed to support the HP Network Printer has been properly installed.
Modifies the file /etc/inetd.conf to include the ``bootps'' service so that the Network Printer can use the BOOT Protocol to download its configuration. Configuration values are the ethernet address of the Network Printer, the network name for the printer, subnet mask if the printer resides within a subnet, a gateway mask so that hosts outside the subnet can access the printer, the name of the syslog server for printer error messages, the idle time-out value, the access list of hosts that can access the printer, and SNMP related parameters such as location, contact person, community name, traps and trap destinations.
Note that it is necessary to manually modify /etc/inetd.conf to include TFTP support.
Not supported.
Uses the ping(1Mtcp) utility to verify that the printer is responding to network requests.
Allows the administrator to test the operation of the Network Printer by sending files to the printer. These files are a text test file and a PostScript test file.
Uses lpadmin(1M) to add the Network Printer to the list of printers accessible via the lp(1) command. A special interface script is used to pass the output of the printer interface script to a filter, hpnpf(1M).
Removes the specified Network Printer's BOOTP/TFTP configuration.
Removes the specified Network Printer's system spooler configuration.
For details of BOOTP and TFTP, see the bootp(1Mtcp) and tftpd(1Mtcp) manual pages.
