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:
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
Configuring Print Queues Using SAM (HP-UX
systems)
On HP-UX systems you can use the SAM utility to configure
remote print queues for printing "text" (ASCII) files or "raw"
(PCL, PostScript, or other printer language) files.
Before you execute the SAM program, select an IP address for
the HP Jetdirect print server and set up an entry for it in the
/etc/hosts file on your system running HP-UX.
1
Start the SAM utility as a superuser.
2
Select Peripheral Devices from the Main menu.
