Client has a very old Java app running on Linux. They've upgraded the server and client hardware over the years but till recently were still printing to line & dot matrix printers. All output is utility bills as simple text. The Java app produces txt files that are sent to the printers. The big line printers are network attached while the smaller dot matrix ones are attached via USB to windows clients. Now the client printers are being replaced with laser ones. They bought a number of HP MFP printers for which I managed to find a PPD file. The latest lot are HP LaserJet P1102w.
These are connected to client computers' USB ports and shared. All share names are "HPLaser". Next, I added one to CUPS using: sudo lpadmin -p ClientPrinter4-PS -v smb://printer:[email protected]/HPLaser as I had previously done for the MFP models. However, I need to specify a PPD file to go with it. The HP site doesn't have one.
Anyone know how to obtain one?
