7.3.3.9.1 Virtual Printer Commands
Virtual printers can be added either through SMIT or through the mkvirprt command,
entering the device name printer_name for configuration purposes. During this
process you also select a particular printer type for the new printer, which inherits the
set of predefined attributes for that printer type. In most cases, this set of attributes will
be sufficient, but it can be changed either through SMIT or by using the chvirprt
command. If you need more extensive changes on your printer, see the AIX RISC
System/6000 documentation for assistance. After the virtual printer has been added,
there will be a stanza in /usr/lpd/qconfig for device printer_name that looks like the
following:
printer_name:
file=/dev/printer_name
backend=/usr/lpd/piobe
Edit /usr/qconfig and change
file=/dev/printer_name to file=/dev/nic/printer_name.
Output spooled on the virtual printer as defined above, will now be sent to the named
pipe and routed to EcoLAN 1000E. Before you edit the files above, be sure that the
following deamon is running:
/usr/nic/lpr_print /dev/nic/printer_name printfast 9100 &

The AIX lp command works slightly differently than the lp command for other
System V Release 4 systems. The following lp commands can be used to print files:
lp -d <queue_name> <filename> or
lp -d <queue_name>:<device_name> <file_name>
