Thanks, to everyone that replied.
The answer was to get a copy of JetAdmin for Solaris from HP's
website; http://www.hp.com/cposupport/prodhome/hpjetadmin4304.html.
Some folk's misunderstood my question or I did not explain it fully.
I have a local printer off of /dev/term/a and wanted to add a remote
network printer.
I did download the JetAdmin software and installed it, but I still
get the same output from lpstat-t. I can print to the network printer
without problem, I just can not get the status of the queue or state
of the printer.
Again Thanks to everyone.
