Xerox 7132 User Guide

The machine can be designated as the location of the default print queue. It will 
then be unnecessary to include the PrinterName in the lpr command line.

1) To designate the machine for the default print queue, add the following to the 

/etc/printcap file. This is in addition to the information entered in the previous 
step:

lp PrinterName:\

:lp=:\

:rm=PrinterName:\

:mx#0:\

:sd-/var/spool/lpd/PrinterName:

Create the spool directory identified in the printcap file and set the access 
attributes, as shown in the example below. The spool directory should be located 
on a disk partition large enough to hold copies of documents that will be 
submitted.

cd /var / spool / lpd

mkdir PrinterName

chmod 744 PrinterName

Follow the steps below to set up an HP-UX workstation to communicate with the 
machine.

Log in as root at a client and add the machine to the /etc/hosts file. For example:

Ip address [tab] PrinterName

Verify connectivity to the machine, by using a UNIX command such as ping from a 
terminal command window, as shown in the following example:

ping PrinterName

NOTE: Select CTRL+C to cancel the ping command.

There are two methods to install the machine on an HP-UX workstation. Choose 
the method that will be used to complete the installation and refer to the 
appropriate page:

Using the Command Window TTY Method – page 79
Using the System Administrator Manager (SAM) GUI Method – page 80

Using the Command Window TTY Method
Follow the steps below to use the command window to manually enter command 
strings.

Open a command window on the desktop. From the command prompt (#), enter 
the information below. Remember that UNIX commands are case-sensitive.
