HP/UX
Configuration
In the case of HP/UX 10.xx, the sam program is used to set up the remote printer. The steps are as follows:
1. Execute the sam program. When you get a list of options, select Printers and Plotters.
2. Select LP Spooler.
3. Select Printers and Plotters.
4. Select Actions, and then select Add Remote Printer/Plotter.
Enter any name as the Printer Name (this will be the name of the print queue).
Enter the IP address of the print server as the Remote System Name.
Enter the desired print server service name as the Remote Printer Name.
Check the box next to Remote Printer is on BSD System. You may accept the default values for the
remaining items.
5. 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 jobs to the print server. Therefore, you must know
the name of the file server (spooler host) in addition to the above information. You will add a physical printer
and a remote printer, and then assign a logical printer name 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.
Earlier versions of HP/UX use similar procedures to 10.xx:
1. Enter sam and select "Peripheral Devices" and then "Add Remote Printer" (not "networked printer").
2. Enter the following remote printer settings (the other settings do not matter):
Line printer name (user-selectable)
Remote system name (the TROY print server name; must match what is in hosts file or use TROY print
server IP address)
Remote printer queue (TROY print server binary or text service name)
Remote Printer is on a BSD System (Yes)
