Connecting Spoolers in a Network Using
RPSetup
The RPSetup utility connects spoolers in a network to give access to printers on
remote nodes. You use RPSetup to create and maintain a spooler configuration for a
node with a limited number of printers so that print jobs from local applications can be
sent to a remote spooler and queued for printing on remote printers. RPSetup reads
configuration information from the remote spooler supervisor, analyzes the information,
and writes new configuration information to the local spooler supervisor.
RPSetup sets up connections to all valid locations on the remote node. To create these
connections, RPSetup creates locations on the local spooler with the same names as
locations on the remote node. RPSetup might also add required print processes and
devices to the local spooler configuration.
Enter the following command to run RPSETUP:
> RPSETUP / IN remote-spooler , OUT local-spooler /
For detailed information on RPSetup, see Section 6, RPSetup Utility
