Setting Up Your Printer for Network Printing

If you have a printer physically attached to your workstation, you can set it up to receive print requests from other computers on your network. To do this, you must start up the remote line printer daemon.

Follow the instructions in this section to set up your workstation to accept print requests from other computers on your network.

/etc/inetd.conf

If you are using HP-UX 10.0, using a text editor such as vi or Text Editor, edit the following file:

/usr/sbin/inetd.conf
