HP e3000 / MPE-XL / MPE / iX: Host Configuration

Note	With the release of MPE/iX version 5.5 and higher, it is now possible to use
	the spooler on the HP e3000 to control printing on devices attached to a
	network. The Native Mode Spooler Reference Manual (HP P/N 32650-
	90166, Edition 5, Sept. 1998 or later) and Configuring and Managing MPE/
	iX Internet Services (HP P/N 32650-90835) are essential references to
	assist you in this configuration.

Follow the instructions below to configure printing to a NIC by using TCP/IP print to socket, sometimes referred to as “native tcpip mode.” The configuration parameters are set via entries in the file “npconfig” (npconfig.pub.sys).

1.If you have not already done so, use program sysgen (sysgen.pub.sys) to add the necessary logical device descriptions. Create one logical device for each P5000LJ Series Printer you wish to add:

a.log in as MANAGER.SYS

b.enter the command :run sysgen.pub.sys

c.at the > prompt, enter io to start the I/O configurator

d.enter the command

io> ad ldev=xx;id=HPTCPJD;path=NONE HPTCPJD is the HP-supplied logical network device type.

e.enter the ld xx configuration command to view the addition, where xx is the logical device number you chose in step d.

f.enter the commands:

io> hold (to save the I/O configuration) io> exit (to exit the I/O configurator)
