hi Shams

It seems the device type is in compressed form. first unzip the file before importing it.

the extention of the file should be .pri but the extension of your device type is .pkg.gz.pri.

.gz is a convention of compressed format. check the installation details of this file before you import.

I think so your file should look like this before you import print-drivers-hpux11.11.pri.

You can't import an OS printer driver into a SAP system. You have to install that driver on your operating system, not in the SAP system.

SAP has its own drivers but not for all printers. Use the printer wizard in SPAD. If your printer is not listed then it's most likely not supported.
