Remote PAD Printer Support (x29printd)
Step 3. Configure the printer in the spooler system with the following commands:
lpshut
lpadmin
accept foo enable foo
lpshut(1M) is necessary since lpadmin will not execute when lpsched is running. You must restart LP scheduler after lpadmin. lpsched(1M) schedules requests taken by lp(1) for line printing. After a printer is configured in the spooler, you must enable it to accept printing requests.
Verifying the Configuration
After you complete the steps above, check the configuration as shown below:
•lpstat
scheduler is running
no system default destination
device for foo: /dev/x29/x29printer1
foo accepting requests since Jan 23 11:00 printer foo is idle. enabled since Jan 23 11:00 fence priority : 0
•ps
•/var/x25/log/x29printd/x29printd.log should have been created and should contain information on the configuration of
/dev/x29/x29printer1.
•/var/x25/log/x29printd/x29printd.log should not contain any configuration error messages.
