7.3 HP-UX printing with SAM using TCP/IP LPR/LPD

This procedure can be used to configure a printer on a remote system without using the TCP/IP print spooler function.

1.Host Configuration

Ensure that the Xerox 4500 PS ETH is defined as a host system. This can be done using the ‘’System Administrator Manager (SAM)’’. Use of this command requires root authority (i.e. use the su command to switch to the root user). Alternatively, you may add the additional IP entries manually by editing the /etc/hosts file and appending the additional IP address and name for the Xerox 4500 PS ETH.

2.Defining the remote printer/plotter using SAM

1.Enter SAM from a HP term or xterm session.

2.Use the following menu items to supply the printer information:

Printers and plotters Printers/plotters

Add remote print/plotter

The following information must be supplied on the ‘’Add remote print/plotter’’ panel:

Printer name

This name is the symbolic name that you will be using to refer to the printer.

Remote Print Name

The remote print name is the queue name on the Xerox 4500 PS ETH. Depending on the type of print that will be printed (raw or auto-carriage return (ACR)), and the attached output printer (LPT1 or LPT2), this name can be one of the following:

LPDPrt1

LPDPrt2

LPDPrt1acr

LPDPrt2acr

For LPDPrt1 and LPDPrt2, the option ‘’Remote printer is on a BSD system’’ should be selected.

Print can be directed to the defined printer using the supplied lp or lpr commands, lpr -dmyprint /users/root/sam.log.
