7.2.4   LPR on HP Hosts

LPR is supported in HP/UX versions 9.0 and greater. Print queues on HP hosts can be configured using 

either UNIX commands or the System Administration Manager (SAM) application.

7.2.4.1   Using UNIX Commands

To configure and use a print queue using LPR:

1

Become the superuser.

2

Issue the following commands:

Figure 7-7:  Configuring a Print Queue Using UNIX Commands

Note:

Issuing the “lpshut” command will stop the HP spooling system, so this 

command should not be performed when print jobs are active. 

The lpadmin command adds to the print queue. The accept command tells the queueing system that 

the queue is accepting requests and the enable command enables the print queue so it can start 

printing. Finally, the lpsched command restarts the queuing system. 

3

Print to this queue using normal lpr syntax (see Figure 7-6).

7.2.4.2   Using SAM

The System Administration Manager (SAM) application allows you to enable LPD printing and create print 

queues. 

1

At the HP prompt, type SAM.

2

From the main application window, choose Printers and Plotters. Click Open and choose Printers/

Plotters.

3

In the Actions pull-down menu, select Add Remote Printer/Plotter. 

4

Enter the name of the print queue to add, the name of the ETS unit, and the name of the ETS service

5

Print to this queue using normal lp syntax (see Figure 7-6).

7.2.5   LPR on SCO UNIX Hosts

LPR is supported in SCO V3.2 release 4 with TCP/IP versions 1.2 and greater.
