8.14 JetPilot does not work with my JetDirect box, why?

JetPilot, JetDirect JetDirect, JetPilot eXTRAPRINT

It seems, that there is a bug in the /etc/rc-script. The bootpd is given with to arguments -a -f, which are not available for the bootpd under 3.3.

Make an entry in /etc/bootptab like this:

\# \# host htype haddr iaddr bootfile \# printer 1 XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

where

Entries have to be done also in the Netinfo-database. It's like adding a new host.

Insert the following line to your etc/rc.local script:

\# \# Starting JetDirect-Printer configuration \# fbshow -B -I "Starting Printer initialization" -z 92 /usr/etc/bootpd -d /etc/bootptab >/dev/console 2>\&1

There is an additional FAQ available at: ftp://ftp.gscorp.com/pub/support/HP_JetDirect_Configuration.rtfd.tar.gz
