1.13 mvEnterprise Line Printer Driver Program

The program pick.lpd, which is located on the release tape with the
mvEnterprise monitor and install programs, is useful for sites which
operate multiple mvEnterprise machines. The driver allows a machine
access to the UNIX spooler; therefore, two machines can share a printer
since they are both outputting through the same physical device. An
example of starting the line printer driver using a local print spooler
queue for a serially-attached Hewlett-Packard LaserJet III follows:

1. Invoke smit (the System Management Interactive Tool) by typing

smit from an AIX command shell. (Note that you must have root
user privileges to execute this program).

For more information on smit, AIX provides online documentation
for its commands using the standard UNIX man facility. The
hypertext files used by man are normally located on a CD-ROM
supplied with the system. Refer to the AIX documentation to learn
how to mount the CD-ROM as a file system and access the man
pages.

2. Select the option Print Spooling by using the cursor movement keys

to move the highlight bar to the correct position. Press the Enter
key.

3. Select

Add Print Queue.
