4. “What is the printer name?”
Type the desired printer name and press .
Your screen will now display the information you provided
to the install script. For example:
Node name of the NIC: printfast
Printer name to be used: <printer_name>
The printer is attached on: PORT 1
You are asked to OK this conf iguration. Type yes or no and
press .
5. The script starts the daemon for the newly configured printer
automatically. It also displays the path used should you ever
need to restart the daemon. In the following example, the path
would be:
/usr/nic/lpr_print /dev/nic/<printer_name>
printfast 10001 &
This example reflects names supplied to the script earlier.
When the installation script is complete, you must configure
the printer and make it known to the lp system. The HP/UX
lp system uses the lpadmin maintenance command to
configure a printer (there is not a /etc/printcap file). The
specific commands to do this are:
#lpadmin -p <printer_name> -v /dev/nic/
<printer_name>
#enable <printer_name>
#accept <printer_name>
You can also use other options for the lpadmin command. See
your system documentation for details.
Note
• The printer name must be the same as the one you entered during
the NIC installation. HP supplies the sam program as an alternative
to configure the printer.
