Hello,

How can I add a network printer (jetdirect) without
using the jetadmin tool

Try "sam" - just type sam on the commandline
There just browse through the menu-structure
Printers and Plotters -> LP Spooler -> Printers and Plotters -> Menue Actions : Add Networkprinter

Greetings

sam starts the jetadmin script.
