4-4 TCP/IP Network Configuration

11. You should now be able to print using the lp -d command with the printer

name.

If you are using the HP Distributed Print Service, the configuration procedure is
slightly different because you are sending the print jobs to a file server, which in
turn spools the jobs to the print server. You must therefore know the name of the
file server (spooler host) in addition to the above information. You will add a
physical printer and a remote printer, and then assign a logical printer name to the
remote printer (a unique name that does not match any other name). To print, use
the lp -d command with the logical printer name.

Earlier versions of HP/UX use similar procedures to 10.xx:

1. Enter sam and select "Peripheral Devices."

2. Select "Add Remote Printer" (not "networked printer").

3. Enter the following remote printer settings (the other settings do not matter):

Line printer name (user-selectable), Remote system name (the print server
name; must match what is in hosts file or use XCD print server IP address),
Remote printer queue (print server binary service name), and Remote Printer is
on a BSD System (Yes).

The RS/6000 AIX operating system uses the smit program to set up the remote
printer. The procedure is as follows for AIX 4.0 and later:

1. Enter SMIT and select “devices.”

2. Select “Printer/Plotter.”

3. Select “Print Spooling.”

4. Select “Add a Print Queue.”

5. Select “Remote.”

6. Enter the following Remote Printer Settings:

Name of queue (user selectable)
Host Name of Remote Printer (Print server name; must match name /etc/hosts
file or use print server IP address)
Name of queue on remote server (print server binary or text service name)
Type of print spooler: BSD (press the list button and choose BSD).
