HP 625n Gigabit Ethernet Print Server manual Configuring Print Queues Using SAM HP-UX systems

Configuring Print Queues Using SAM (HP-UX systems)

On HP-UX systems you can use the SAM utility to configure remote print queues for printing “text” (ASCII) files or “raw” (PCL, PostScript, or other printer language) files.

Before you execute the SAM program, select an IP address for the HP Jetdirect print server and set up an entry for it in the /etc/hosts file on your system running HP-UX.

1.Start the SAM utility as a superuser.

2.Select Peripheral Devices from the Main menu.

3.Select Printers/Plotters from the Peripheral Devices menu.

4.Select Printers/Plotters from the Printers/Plotters menu.

5.Select Add a Remote Printer from the Actions list, then select a printer name.

Examples: my_printer or printer1

6.Select a remote system name.

Example: jetdirect1 (node name of the HP Jetdirect print server)

7.Select a remote printer name.

Type text for ASCII or raw for PostScript, PCL, or HP-GL/2. Type auto to let the line printer daemon select automatically.

Type binps to instruct the PostScript interpreter to interpret the print job as binary PostScript data.

Type the name of a user-defined queue to include pre-defined strings before and/or after the print data (user-defined print queues can be set up through Telnet, Chapter 2, and the embedded Web server, Chapter 4).

8.Check for a remote printer on a BSD system. You must type Y.

9.Click OK at the bottom of the menu. If the configuration is successful, the program prints the message:

The printer has been added and is ready to accept print requests.
