HP-UX Configuration

In the case of HP-UX10.xx, the sam program is used to set up the 
remote printer. The steps are as follows:

1

Execute the sam program. From the list of options, select 
Printers and Plotters.

2

Select LP Spooler.

3

Select Printers and Plotters.

4

Select Actions and then Add Remote Printer/Plotter.

5

Enter any name as the Printer Name (this will be the name of 
the print queue).

6

Enter the IP address of the Print/Fax server as the Remote 
System Name.

7

Enter the desired Print/Fax server service name as the Remote 
Printer Name.

8

Check the box next to Remote Printer is on BSD system.

9

You may accept the default values for the remaining items.

10

Click OK to configure the printer.

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 job to the Print/Fax server. 
You must therefore know the name of the file server (spooler host) in 
addition to the above information. You will add a physical and a 
remote printer, and then assign a logical printer 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.
