4-6 TCP/IP Network Configuration
systems, as well as many VMS-based TCP/IP software
packages (for example, UCX, TGV Multinet, etc.).
Such systems generally use a printer setup program to
define the service name (remote printer), the TROY
XCD print server name (remote machine) or IP address,
and the local queue name (spool directory).
HP/UX Configuration
In the case of HP/UX 10.xx, the sam program is used to

- Select LP Spooler.
- Select Printers and Plotters.
- Select Actions and then 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

- Click OK to configure the printer.

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. You must
