A.3 - LPD PRINTERS
This appendix gives the information needed to add an LPD printer within your
operating system. For more information, refer to your system manuals.
A.3.1 - Unix
Use the appropriate UNIX system management tool to add a remote printer. At
least, two parameters are requested:
- the name of the remote host: enter the AX3000's hostname (refer to
/etc/hosts),
- the name of the printer: this is the Printer Port Name entered when the
AX3000 was set up.
Run the lp command to use this printer.
Note: some options of the lp command (number of copies, banner, etc) cannot
be used, because the AX3000 is not a UNIX server and has no hard disk on
which to run a spooler.
a) Using lpd under IBM AIX V3.x
Enter the SMIT fast path smit mkrque. Four parameters are required:
- Name of Queue to Add:
⇒ name of the printer accessed by the lp command
- Destination Host for Remote Jobs:
⇒ hostname of the AX3000 (refer to /etc/hosts)
- Name of Queue on Remote Printer:
⇒ 'Printer Port Name' associated with the AX3000's port
- Name of Device to Add:
⇒ device name of printer on AIX
b) Using lpd under IBM AIX V4.x
Enter the SMIT fast path smit spooler then select 'Add a Print Queue' and
'Remote'.
