TCP/IP Configuration

5.4.5 AIX RISC System/6000
This operating systems can use either host-resident or NIC-resident installation.
The AIX operating system uses the qdaemon program and configuration information
stored in the /usr/lpd/qconfig file to handle printing services. The configuration
information includes entries for each virtual printer and physical device known to the
system.
You configure the NIC in a similar manner to configuring a local printer. The only
difference is the physical printer device must be a named pipe used by the NIC's print
daemon to route data.
NIC-Resident Installation
The lpdinst command creates the /usr/nic directory and copies some files. Then use the
following procedure:
1. Enter the following at the system prompt:
smit spooler
2. Select Manage Remote Printer System from the menu.
3. Select Client Services from the menu.
4. Select Remote Printer Queues from the menu.
