I B M A I X C o n f i g u r a t i o n

To configure a print server on IBM AIX 4.x, use the SMIT program as follows:

1. Enter SMIT and select Devices.

2. Select Printer/plotter.

3. Select Manage remote printer subsystem.

4. Select Client services.

5. Select Remote printer queues.

6. Select Add a remote queue. Enter the following remote queue settings:

♦ Name of queue to add (user selectable) Activate the queue (Yes).
♦ Destination host (print server’s IP address; or if you have configured

the /etc/hosts file, use the name of the print server that you specified
in that file).

♦ Name of queue on remote printer BINARY_P1 for binary files or

TEXT_P1 for text files).

♦ Name of device to add (user selectable; for example lp0).

7. You should now be able to print using the normal lp -d command.

Note: The configuration for earlier versions of AIX is slightly different. The

print server can also be configured as a JetDirect card using AIX.
To do this, refer to your AIX documentation.

C o n f i g u r a t i o n o n O t h e r S y s t e m s

The print server can be used with any computer system that supports the
LPR/LPD protocol or HP JetDirect (port 9100 is the default; however, it can
be reconfigured). Refer to the system’s documentation to configure
LPR/LPD or JetDirect print queues.
