Technical information

Configuring HP-UX version 9.x
Note: The printer is a PostScript-only printer. Non-PostScript files will not
print, even though the Ready/In Use light flashes.
You must configure the printer as a remote printer, not as a network printer.
1 Log in to the system console as root .
The System Administration Manager (SAM) uses a screen-oriented interface
that works best at the console.
2 Assign an IP address and IP name to the printer, as described in “Step 3: Assigning an
IP Address to the Printer,” earlier in this chapter.
3 The IP address must be entered in any of the following: DNS, NIS, or the /etc/hosts
file.
The most straightforward configuration is to use /etc/hosts. However,
your network administrator may choose to use DNS or NIS.
4Run the SAM utility by typing sam at the UNIX prompt.
5Select the following options, in order, from the SAM menu:
Printers and Plotters
Printers/Plotters
Actions
