Type the command smit in a Terminal window, then click Print

HP UX Sam is the recommended printing tool. It doesn’t provide an integrated printer driver list, nor printer detection functionality.

Type the command sam in a Terminal window, click Printers and

Plotters and then click Actions and Add_Remote Printer/Plotter.

Mandrake printerdrake is the recommended printing tool. It contains an integrated printer driver list, but does not have printer detection ability.
