IBM has a unique print spooler system that uses the qdaemon
program. Use the following steps to interface with the Internal Ethernet
Adapter using rsh:
NOTE: These steps and associated examples refer to a setup with a
queue named queue2, a queue device named lp0, printing to a
destination d1prn on the Internal Ethernet Adapter named
spike.
1. Create a device. Enter:
smit pdp
2. Select Printer/Plotter, then Add a Printer/Plotter. Follow the
prompts until SMIT executes the "mkdev" command to create this
device.
NOTE: Select parallel as the interface.
Select p as the port number.
Select ppa0 as the adapter.
Select a printer type that best matches what you are doing.
Select device lp0. If this deice is not available, go back and
select "Remove a Printer/Plotter" and remove lp0 making it
available for your next run through. AIX has a limit of four
physical devices. If you run out, IBM suggests deleting the
device after completing a print setup.
3. Create a new queue. Enter:
mkque -q queue2
