If you have a printer physically attached to your workstation, you can
set it up to receive print requests from other computers on your net-
work. To do this, you must start up the remote line printer daemon.
Follow the instructions in this section to set up your workstation to
accept print requests from other computers on your network.
1.
Log in as root. If you need information on logging in or setting
up a user account, see Using Your HP Workstation.
2.
Using a text editor, such as vi or Text Editor, edit the following
file:
/etc/inetd.conf
3.
Find the following section in the file:
##
#
# Other HP-UX network services
#
##
4.
The following line should be directly below
Other HP-UX
network services
:
# printer stream tcp nowait root
/usr/lib/rlpdaemon rlpdaemon –i
If the line is present, delete the pound sign (#) from the begin-
ning. If the line is not there, add it without the pound sign (#) at
the beginning.
The line should look like the following:
printer stream tcp nowait root
/usr/lib/rlpdaemon rlpdaemon –i
