Setting Up the UNIX Filters 173
Configuring the Print Queue
After you copy UNIX Filters, you can configure the print queue.
There are two ways to configure the print queue: one is creating a print queue using estbwadd,
and the other is creating a print queue manually without using estbwadd.

— Creating a Print Queue Using estbwadd
You can create a print queue using estbwadd.
Creating a print queue
1
Log on to the root account.
2
Enter the following command:
estbwadd <queue name> <host name or IP address>
y
This command creates a print queue using the system’s lpadmin command. It also
creates a configuration file that has the destination IP address or host name. Use the
configuration file to change print queue parameters.
y
The lpadmin command stores the printer interface file in the /etc/lp/interfaces direc-
tory in a file with the same name as the print queue. The configuration file is stored in
the /etc/lp/interfaces directory in a file named <queue name>.conf.
y
Under Linux, the printtool (or equivalent) utility must be used to add the printer into
the lp printing system after executing the est coloradd command.
— Creating a Print Queue Manually
You can also configure the print queue by adding a remote printer manually.
The procedure varies depending on the operating systems.
