4.2.5 LPR on HP Hosts
The System Administration Manager (SAM) allows you to create print queues.
Note: If you are unable to use SAM, the Print Server Reference Manual lo-
cated on the CD-ROM describes UNIX commands that can be used to
set up print queues.
Note: Printer names on HP hosts are limited to 13 characters. The MPS text
service name will be too long, so you will have to rename the MPS.
To create a print queue:
1 At the HP prompt, type sam.
2 From the main application window, choose Printers and Plotters.
3 In the Printers and Plotters window, choose Printers/Plotters.
4 In the pull-down menu, select Remote Printer/Plotter from the Actions menu.
5 The Add Remote Printer window will appear. SAM will prompt you for:
❍ The printer name (the name of the print queue),
❍ The remote system name (the MPS name),
❍ The remote printer name (the MPS service),
% lp -dmps_prt filename
