You should have gotten a copy of jetadmin with the
printer. That is what you need and it will work
with all of HP's printers.
The deskjet printer has a default address of
192.0.0.192.
you can: route add host 192.0.0.192 youripaddress 0
telnet 192.0.0.192
this will open a connection to the printer that you can use to set
the ip address and net mask for your domaine.
then use jetadmin to install the printer on your network.

Assuming you have a PS version no drivers (application level) are needed, it is just another PostScript printer. The jetadmin utilities for the TCP/IP connection can be found at ftpboi.external.hp.com in the jetdirect area. These utilities will allow easy connection in Solaris 2.4, and will enable you to use the printer with Suns' NeWSprint as well (if you desire, NeWSprint is not required.)
Hope this helps..

Maybe you need to buy J2375A "JetDirect software for SunOS", or maybe
you can pick it up for free from ftp://ftp-boi.external.hp.com/

Assuming you have a JetDirect card, you can get the drivers from
ftp://ftp-boi.external.hp.com/pub/jetdirect/solaris2_x.

shouldn't need any - as I recall lpadmin knows how to deal with postscript
printers:
1) add printer into /etc/hosts (say as "post_printer")
2) run lpadmin:
lpadmin -p ps1 -D "HP 1200CPS Color Printer" -s post_printer -I postscript
something like that anyway. This is from rather fuzzy memory.

You can find software for HP printers under their WWW-Server
(http://www.hp.com).
We have JetAdmin under Sol 2.3 for an HP 4m with tcp/ip and it
works fine.
PS. IT'S A GREAT LIST, ISN'T IT?
