Services standard on HPUX aren't always included. Start with
the HP web site. They do support Linux.

A better choice if the printer can be configured to use DHCP.
I suspect sufficiently old models only support bootp.

The dhcp protocol is a direct extension of the bootp protocol and
dhcp server will in most cases support bootp client. Redhat system
