Brother MFC-8840D HP-UX Configuration, Check the box next to Remote Printer is on BSD system

HP-UX Configuration

In the case of HP-UX10.xx, the sam program is used to set up the remote printer. The steps are as follows:

1Execute the sam program. From the list of options, select Printers and Plotters.

2Select LP Spooler.

3Select Printers and Plotters.

4Select Actions and then Add Remote Printer/Plotter.

5Enter any name as the Printer Name (this will be the name of the print queue).

6Enter the IP address of the Print/Fax server as the Remote System Name.

7Enter the desired Print/Fax server service name as the Remote Printer Name.

8Check the box next to Remote Printer is on BSD system.

9You may accept the default values for the remaining items.

10Click 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 job to the Print/Fax server. You must therefore know the name of the file server (spooler host) in addition to the above information. You will add a physical and a remote printer, and then assign a logical printer 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.
