1. Please do not put useful information below the signature line
(which starts with the two dashes). Most news readers will not quote
that part for replies.
2. The error message is bogus. What's really happening is that SNMP
is not able to access your unspecified printer. If you're going
through a firewall, that means that port 161 will need to be open to
the printer. HPNP uses SNMP to get the printer status info. However,
HPNP can be tricked. On your unspecified version of OSR5, rename the
program /bin/getone to something else to get it out of the way. If
HPNP finds that it doesn't have the proper binary to query the
printer, it returns an always read message. It should work after
that.
Another possibility is that you've tweaked the SNMP R/O community name
on the printer. Put it back to "public". Run:
getmany printer_ip public iso
If you get pages and pages and pages and pages of OID's, SNMP is
working.

FYI I'm on Sco Unix OSR 5.0.6 and the getone file was in /etc.

Seems some new embedded jetdirect cards have problems. Doing the following:
/etc/getmany printer.ip public iso
will give a few settings and then:
/etc/getmany: error processing incoming pdu.
The ony fix that works for my HP Laserjet 2015n / 2015dn is to rename /etc/getone to something else. The HPNP Verify Network Printer Operation will still fail, but printer can be installed and jobs sent via spooler.

So stop using that hpnp junk and use netcat

It works as long as you're aware of SNMP weirdness. If they can't work out HPNP then it's likely they're going to have trouble setting up a netcat alternative.
