CHAPTER 2 UNIX NETWORK CONFIGURATION (TCP/IP)
2-4
If you have an HP/UX system, IBM RS/6000 AIX computer, or Sun Solaris
2.xx, there is no printcap file. This is also true for some other AT&T-based
UNIX systems, as well as many VMS-based TCP/IP software packages (for
example, UCX, TGV Multinet, etc.). Such systems generally use a printer
setup program to define the service name (remote printer), the print server
name (remote machine) or IP address, and the local queue name (spool
directory).
HP/UX Configuration
In the case of HP/UX, the sam program is used to set up the remote printer.
The steps are as follows:
-Enter sam and select "Peripheral Devices" and then "Add Remote
Printer" (not "Networked printer")
- Enter the following remote printer settings (the other settings do not
matter):
- Line printer name (user-selectable)
- Remote system name (the print server name; must match what is in
hosts file or use print server IP address)
- Remote printer queue (Printserver binary or text service name, e.g.
BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1)
- Remote Printer is on a BSD System (Yes)
IBM RS/6000 AIX Configuration
The RS/6000 AIX operating system uses the smit program to set up the
remote printer. The procedure is as follows:
-Enter smit and select "devices"
- Select "printer/plotter"
- Select "manage remote printer subsystem"
- Select "client services"
- Select "remote printer queues"
- Select "add a remote queue"
- Enter the following remote queue settings:
-Name of queue to add (user selectable)
- Activate the queue (Yes)
- Destination host (print server name; must match name in
/etc/hosts file or use the print server IP address)
- Name of queue on remote printer (print server binary or text service
name, eg. BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1)
- Name of device to add (user selectable; for example lp0)
