As an online engineer for the TCP/IP JetDirect cards for HP, I still get
calls asking how to order the card.  For those of you who read this
notes group, are looking for the card, but do not know how to order it,
I'm reposting this note on how to order the card.  I've added
information on how to order the software without the card, as many
people seem to have ordered the card without the software and found it
difficult to use without the software.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
People have been asking about the TCP/IP card for LaserJet printers (via
e-mail).  I'll summarize information here.

(US$895.00)  C2059T:  LaserJet IIISi or DesignJet Plotter
(US$895.00)  C2071T:  LJ II, IID, III, or IIID for thin coax
(US$895.00)  C2071S:  LJ II, IID, III, or IIID for twisted-pair

Given one of the above, you must also order one of the following
options.

(US$100.00)  AA0 - 1/4" tape for HP-UX
(US$100.00)  AAH - DAT tape for HP-UX
(US$100.00)  AAV - 1/4" tape for SunOS
(  $0.00  )  1AK - No software tape.

Given the above, you must also order one of the following options.

ABA - English
ABD - German
ABE - Spanish
ABF - French
ABN - Norwegian
ABS - Swedish
ABZ - Italian
ABJ - Japanese (for the C2059T only)

So, if you order a TCP/IP card for the IIISi that's meant to be used on
a SunOS system in Italy, you'd order C2059T-AAV-ABZ.

Note, the tape contains the drivers and filters needed to install a
master spooler on one system.  If you plan on having multiple master
spoolers, I recommend copying the tape to a system in a permanent store
directory.  To install a master spooler, ftp all files in that directory
to the target system in /usr/lib/hpnp, preserving file structure.  Then
following the installation instructions that come with the tape. You can
do this between HP and SunOS systems, too.  (The data on the tape is the
same, regardless of whether it's in Sun or HP tape format.)

Note, if you want to purchase cards for multiple printers, you only need
to order the tape option once.  Suppose in the Italian example above,
you also want to order a TCP/IP card for the DesignJet plotter and 3
TCP/IP cards for a IIID on twisted-pair, with a mix of HP and SunOS
(Sparc) systems.  The order would then be:

Quantity  -  Part Number  -  Option 1  -  Option 2  -  Unit Price - Total Price
   1         C2059T           AAV          ABZ           $995.00     $995.00
   1         C2059T           1AK          ABZ           $895.00     $995.00
   3         C2071S           1AK          ABZ           $895.00    $2685.00

The install tape would be copied onto a SunOS system, and then ftp'ed to
all systems you want to be master spoolers.  You'd follow the
installation structions for installing the master spooler on all desired
systems.  The master spooler can be either HP-UX or SunOS, as long as
the system has ftp access to whatever system you copied the install
tape onto.

If you happen to purchase the JetDirect card without any software, you
may find the card unusable.  You need to purchase the appropriate tape
and format for your systems.  Use the following part numbers when
purchasing the tape without the card.

C2850-13301:  1/4" tape for HP-UX        (option AA0 above)
C2850-13601:  DDS (DAT) tape for HP-UX   (option AAH above)
 5010-9808:   1/4" tape for SunOS        (option AAV above)
