Preparing for HP-UX Installation

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.

Configuring HP-UX for a Printer

You will need to supply certain items of information needed to identify the
printer you are installing. It will help to have this reference information
available during the software installation process. In the following checklist,
fill in the items relevant to your printer:
