To add a print queue, follow these instructions:
1. From the main window, choose Print Spooling.
2. Choose Manage Print Server and Manage Print Queues.
3. Choose Add a print queue.
4. From the dialog box that appears, choose remote.
5. From the next dialog box choose the desired type of remote printing.
6. Add the following information to the Add a Standard Remote Print Queue
dialog box:
– The name of the print queue to add
– The name of the RapidPrint 500 unit
– The name of the RapidPrint 500 service
– The type of print spooler on the remote server, and
– A description of the printer on the remote server.
A dialog box will appear with the message “Added print queue.” To print to this
queue, normal lp syntax is used (see
Figure 10-8 ).
10.2.3 LPR on HP Hosts
LPR is supported in HP/UX versions 9.0 and greater. Print queues on HP hosts can be configured
using either UNIX commands or the System Administration Manager (SAM) application.
10.2.3.1 Using UNIX Commands
To configure a print queue using LPR, become the superuser and issue the following commands:
Figure 10-9: Configuring a Print Queue Using UNIX Commands
NOTE: Issuing the “lpshut” command will stop the HP spooling system, so this command
should not be performed when print jobs are active.
The lpadmin command adds to the print queue. The accept command tells the queueing system
that the queue is accepting requests and the enable command enables the print queue so it can
start printing. Finally, the lpsched command restarts the queuing system. To print to this queue,
normal lpr syntax is used (see
Figure 10-8 ).
