Below is information on how you print from the three following UNIX
systems.
1. AIX Version 3.2.5
Version 4.1
(see Section 6.1 below for details)
2. SunOS Rel. 5.3, Open Windows Version 3.3 (equivalent to
Solaris)
(see Section.6.2 below for details)

7.1 AIX printing using TCP/IP LPR/LPD
Version 3.2.5
Before you can print via AIX version 3.2.5, the following 2 steps must have
been completed:
1. Host Configuration
You must make sure that the Xerox 4500 PS ETH is defined as a host
system. This can be done by using the smit command. Use of this
command requires root authority (i.e. use the su command to switch to
the root user). Alternatively, you may add the additional IP entries
manually by editing the /etc/hosts file and appending the additional IP
address and name for the Xerox 4500 PS ETH.
2. Define the remote printer using smit
1. Enter the smit command.
2. Use the following menu selections to supply the printer information:
- Spooler (Print Jobs)
- Manage Remote Printer Subsystem
- Client Services
- Remote Printer Queues
- Add a Remote Queue
The entries shown in the [Entry Fields] column below are sample
entries for the “Add a remote queue” panel.
