(has instructions for the hp laser jet....)

Notes:

The BOOTP/TFTP server cannot be across the gateway from the printer.
There should be only one machine on the network that acts as
the BOOTP/TFTP server.

AIX support for the HP JetDirect cards really only supports ethernet; however,
you should be able to use the card on a token ring set up with only minor
modification. This really only has to do with bootptab hardware type settings.

If you are going across a router from the server to JetDirect printer AND if
you are using BOOTP/TFTP to download IP address to the printer,
then YOU MUST make sure that the router is configured to allow bootp
daemon to go across that particular router (this is something you
must configure, AIX support cannot help you with this!).

Thank you
what im trying to do is use the BOOTP/TFTP to download IP address to the printer,
the printer is going on an as4000 system but the only way you can config this printer is on a bootp server.

again thank you very much for the info.
