The script automatically starts the daemon for the newly configured
printer. At this time, the script displays the path you should use if you
ever need to restart the daemon.
Example:
/usr/nic/lpr_print /dev/nic/<printer name> print-
fast 10001 &
The above example reflects the name supplied to the script earlier.
After the installation script is complete, you must then configure the printer
and make it known to the lp system. The HP-UX lp system uses the lpad-
min command used to configure a printer. There is no
/etc/printcap
file.
The following are the commands used for printer configuration.
lpadmin -p
<printer name>
-v /dev/nic/
<printer name>
enable
<printer name>
accept
<printer name>
You can also use other options in the lpadmin command. See your system
documentation for details.
✎
Note
The printer name must be the same as the one you specified during
Network Card installation. HP also provides the sam program, which
can be used to configure the printer.
If you use sam, make all specifications just as if the printer were connect-
ed directly to /dev/lprinter/
<printer name>
.
The software installed with your HP system should be sufficient to satisfy
most printing needs. HP supplies ASCII-to-PostScript filters that are in-
voked automatically whenever PostScript is specified as the content type.
The HP-UX lp system also supplies interface scripts that generate Post-
Script banners. When necessary, you can use the lpfilter command to de-
fine new filters and content types. The installation provides you with the
full power and flexibility of the lp print service, and the fact that you are
printing across the network is totally transparent.
