ADD HP 4300 to AIX 1

[STF26]

Hello everyone I am running AIX 4.3.3 and would like to install an HP 4300 series laser printer. From what I understand, I can use the HP Laserjet 4000 series driver below so I can gain access to the other paper bins. I have all of the AIX CDs however, I am having some difficulty installing the printer. First off, I get the question about the software not being installed. I select the CD ROM drive to install the software and the it gives me this really big warning about overwriting drivers. I am not sure which AIX CD is going to have the driver on it. Not sure what happens after you OK the warning. Any tips would be much appreciated.

Thanks
STF

You need the first cd of the 4.3.3 disks and then from smit menu take the install and update software by package name.
Use F4 to select the printers you wish to install.

Thanks for the tip!

I had to use the 8100 printer driver but I was able to make it happen!
