Printer Connections

You may have to do some conﬁguration for appropriate data interchange

with a new printer. This section gives you general guidance for these tasks.

You can use SAM (System Administration Manager) procedures to make

your printer installation easier. SAM can determine the status of any of your

connected devices and performs the necessary software installation of the

printer for you.

If you don't want to use SAM to install the printer, or if SAM is not on your

system, you can use HP-UX commands directly to accomplish the same

tasks. For information on using manual system administration procedures,

see HP-UX System Administration Tasks.
