UNIX
The HP Jetdirect Printer Installer for UNIX
®
is a simple printer
installation utility for HP-UX
®
and Sun Solaris networks. It is

.
Linux
Printing from Linux is supported using Graphical Print Dialog
(GPR), a print dialog available for LPR networks. For PostScript
®
print jobs, GPR uses the printer PostScript Printer Description
(PPD) files to communicate with the printer and enable printer
features.
Currently, GPR printing is fully supported on computers running
Red Hat 6.2 that have an X window desktop (such as KDE) installed.
However, other types of Linux might successfully use GPR printing
as well.
