Installing HP deskjet drivers on 5.3 1

[saucyboy]

Guys

I am installing System V Hewlett-Packard JetDirect filesets on an aix 5.3 LPAR, after doing a preview it fails
with the comment below :

Requisite Failures
------------------
SELECTED FILESETS: The following is a list of filesets that you asked to
install. They cannot be installed until all of their requisite filesets
are also installed. See subsequent lists for details of requisites.

#1 bos.svprint.hpnp 5.3.0.0 # System V Hewlett-Packard Jet...

MISSING REQUISITES: The following filesets are required by one or more
of the selected filesets listed above. They are not currently installed
and could not be found on the installation media.
(Selected filesets which depend upon these requisites are referenced in
parentheses.)

ldap.client.rte 4.1.0.0 # Base Level Fileset
(dep #s: 1)



any ideas why it wants "ldap.client.rte 4.1.0.0 # Base Level Fileset"

I would suggest you go back to HP with this message!

I don't see why you need ldap for installing a printer driver!

LDAP is used to look up encryption certificates, pointers to printers and other services on a network, and provide "single signon" where one password for a user is shared between many services. LDAP is appropriate for any kind of directory-like information, where fast lookups and less-frequent updates are the norm.

As a protocol, LDAP does not define how programs work on either the client or server side. It defines the "language" used for client programs to talk to servers (and servers to servers, too). On the client side, a client may be an email program, a printer browser, or an address book. The server may speak only LDAP, or have other methods of sending and receiving data.
