NOTE

Be sure that the NMS host processor name is entered into the
/usr/spool/lp/.rhosts and /etc/hosts files on the remote processor.

Remote Printing with the BSD UNIX Print Spooler

To establish the remote printer connections with a printer server running BSD UNIX, perform the
following steps:

1. Logon to the NMS host as root and

TYPE: mkdev rlp

PRESS: Enter

NOTE

The command

mkdev rlp can only be run ONCE. Running the

command more than once will result in an incorrect lp configuration
requiring a complete reinstallation of the UNIX system on that
processor.

If remote line printing has already been installed, a message appears with the prompt:

Do you wish to continue?

TYPE: n

PRESS: Enter

TYPE: rlpconf

PRESS: Enter

and go to Step 3.
