IBM has a unique print spooler system that uses the qdaemon program. Use the following steps to interface with the Internal Ethernet Adapter using rsh:
NOTE: These steps and associated examples refer to a setup with a queue named queue2, a queue device named lp0, printing to a destination d1prn on the Internal Ethernet Adapter named spike.
1.Create a device. Enter: smit pdp
2.Select Printer/Plotter, then Add a Printer/Plotter. Follow the prompts until SMIT executes the “mkdev” command to create this device.
NOTE: Select parallel as the interface. Select p as the port number. Select ppa0 as the adapter.
Select a printer type that best matches what you are doing. Select device lp0. If this deice is not available, go back and select “Remove a Printer/Plotter” and remove lp0 making it available for your next run through. AIX has a limit of four physical devices. If you run out, IBM suggests deleting the device after completing a print setup.
3.Create a new queue. Enter: mkque
