Good Day František I can definately say this is not a configuration we have used in the Lab here. I have read a little about p910nd. Could you describe your setup and configuration for me please?
Also, I believe, though it may be dated, that the Windows socket to jet direct printing RAW mode is very simular to a lp or lpr command. Ideally you'd want to trouble shoot your p910nd server for connection. Outside the context of HPLIP. For example, can you connect to the p910nd printers via the standard CUPS interface? Can you configure a CUPS queue to your server? Do you have bi-di copy on? I'm not sure this is needed or what 'copy' implies, but p901nd sounds a little more uni-di to me. This might be why hp-setup/toolbox cannot 'see' your server's printers. Since windows can print its a good start. And I think you did mention that you were able to socket:// into your server and print. Again, we have not used anything like this in the lab. So this is a best guess at most. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks for your time. jh František Řezáč wrote: > Hi, > >> I'm not sure what a "p910nd" is? > here is short description of p910nd taken from it's man page: > > p910nd is a small daemon that copies any data received on the port it is > listening on to the corresponding printer port.
