There may be times when you would prefer to or have to perform the manual setup steps for a new printer definition. There may also be times when you require a less common print solution such as direct socket capabilities. This section covers these additional setups.

Printing Setup On HP-UX

Method 1, SAM

A simple way to set up printing on HP-UX is using SAM, the system administration tool.

1.At the command prompt in a terminal session, start SAM.

2.Double click on “Printers/Plotters.”

3.Under “Actions,” choose “Add Remote Printer.”

4.In the entry panel that opens, make the following entries (remember Unix is case sensitive, so d1prn is not the same as D1PRN):

a.For Printer Name, enter anything you want. This is actually the Unix Queue name, for example, “Accounting.”

b.For Remote System Name, enter the DNS/pingable name, for example, “MyP5000LJ.”

c.For Remote Printer Name, enter a dest on the P5000LJ, for example, “d1prn.”

d.Accept defaults for Remote Cancel model and Remote Status model.

e.Check the box next to “Remote Printer is on a BSD system.”

f.Click on OK.

5.You will be asked if you want to add the new printer to HP Vue, this is optional. Other optional choices include making this the system printer and allowing anyone to cancel a job.

6.Test your new printer by either a command line print: lp -d Accounting /etc/inetd.conf

or, via an application which can be directed to a selected printer.
