IBM AIX Configuration
To configure a print server on IBM AIX 4.x, use the SMIT program as follows:
1. Enter smit and select Devices.
2. Select Printer/plotter.
3. Select Manage remote printer subsystem.
4. Select Client services.
5. Select Remote printer queues.
6. Select Add a remote queue. Enter the following remote queue settings:
♦ Name of queue to add (user selectable).Activate the queue
(Yes).
♦ Destination host (print server’s IP address; or if you have
configured the /etc/hosts file, use the name of the print
server that you specified in that file).
♦ Name of queue on remote printer BINARY_P1 for binary
files or TEXT_P1 for text files).
♦ Name of device to add (user selectable; for example lp0).
7. You should now be able to print using the normal lp -d command.
NOTES:
♦ The configuration for earlier versions of AIX is slightly
different. Refer to the Administrator's Manual on the CD-
ROM for details.
♦ The print server can also be configured as a JetDirect card
using AIX. To do this, refer to your AIX documentation.
Configuration on Other Systems
The print server can be used with any computer system that supports the
lpr/lpd protocol or HP JetDirect (port 9100 is the default; however, it can be
reconfigured). Refer to the system’s documentation to configure lpr/lpd or
JetDirect print queues.
