Help adding wireless printer in Solaris 9

807559Dec 6 2007 — edited Dec 7 2007
I have a home network with a wireless PC and wireless Mac, and an Ethernet connected Ultra running SPARC OS 9. Bought a new HP Photosmart C7280 printer, which supports wireless connection. Easy enough to connect the PC and Mac. How about the Ultra?

Poking around, found this cmd:

# lpadmin -p hp -v /dev/null -m netstandard -o dest=+ipaddr+:9100 -o protocol=tcp

Subsituting my printer's ipaddr and running the cmd as root gave this error:

lpadmin: add-printer (set device) failed: client-error-not-possible

From the Ultra, I can ping the printer and telnet to it (and get it to accept input which prints). Any help appreciated.
