Adding printer via FOG
-
Sorry, the copy and paste didn’t work that well.
Printer model = HP Printer (LEDM)
Printer Alias = WF Elem Lab
Printer Port = IP_192.168.0.64
Print INF file = [URL=‘http://fogproject.org/forum/file://\192.168.0.16\GP’]\192.168.0.16\GP[/URL] Software\WF Elem Lab Printer\hpbuio45l.inf -
New forums, can edit posts now ;). Have you tried specifying the printer IP to see if that helps?
-
Specifying the printer IP where?
-
Using FOG 0.32, when I add a printer of type “Local Printer”, I get a box labeled “Print IP (optional):” after the box for Print INF File.
-
Adding the IP got these results:

For the HP LaserJet 1320n for Windows 7 64 bit, I’m not seeing the PCL6 universal driver.
Did you download the proper 64 bit driver? Have you tried using the HP Printer Administration Resource Kit to make a silent/auto install driver for this printer?
I also see where this printer may be able to use the built-in driver for Windows 7 64 bit. Maybe finding and pointing to the local inf file would help.
-
use code tags around log files and terminal output.
-
Sorry, it is the PCL 5 driver, not PCL 6. I watched the video tutorial on the wiki re: pointing to local inf file, but I can’t find that file in windows 7.
-
Ok, I was using the wrong driver. I already had the driver on my print server, so I copied it over to my network share and updated my printer in FOG management with the proper inf settings. Looks like it’s working now! Thanks for the help!

Hey, Im trying to figure out the fields to fill. But i can’t understand if something is wrong on fields… can you give me an example to fill the fields?

@DarkStorm007 This is a very old post you opened up again. FOG was very different and has changed a lot. Please open your own topic and leave this old one alone.
Start the new one by telling us what version of FOG you are running and maybe the names of the fields you ask about (I guess it’s about printers but why should I have to guess, just tell us!!). Maybe even post a picture if you don’t want to spend words on it.
