If your printer does not support automatic switching between PostScript, PCL, and HP-GL/2
languages, use the printer's control panel (if the printer has one) to select the printer language or rely
on the application to select the printer language via commands embedded in the print data.
Make sure your users know the printer names for the printers, since they must type those names on
the command line for printing.
Create the spooling directory by making the following entries. At the root directory, type:
mkdir /usr/spool/lpd
cd /usr/spool/lpd
mkdir printer_name_1 printer_name_2
chown daemon printer_name_1 printer_name_2
chgrp daemon printer_name_1 printer_name_2
chmod g+w printer_name_1 printer_name_2
where printer_name_1 and printer_name_2 refer to the printers to be spooled. You may spool
several printers. The following example shows the command to create the spooling directories for
printers used for text (or ASCII) printing and for PCL or PostScript printing.
Example: Creating Spooling Directory for Text and PCL/PostScript Printers
mkdir /usr/spool/lpd
cd /usr/spool/lpd
mkdir lj1_text lj1_raw
chown daemon lj1_text lj1_raw
chgrp daemon lj1_text lj1_raw
chmod g+w lj1_text lj1_raw

up an entry for it in the /etc/hosts file on your system running HP-UX.
