Host-Resident Installation
The nicinst command creates the /usr/nic directory and copies some files. It then starts a
script that prompts you for information. Your responses change the contents of the
/etc/qconfig file.
1. Shut down qdaemon using the command:
stopsrc -s qdaemon
2. Invoke SMIT with the following command:
smit spooler
3. Select Manage Local Printer Subsystem from the menu.
4. Select Virtual Printers from the menu.
5. Select Add a Virtual Printer from the menu.
6. At the entry for printer type, type 1 and press Enter.
7. At the entry for device name, type the name for the printer that you used during the
nicinst program and press Enter.
8. From the list of printer models, find the model number of your printer. Enter the list
number (not the model number).
9. At the prompts for header pages and trailer pages, type Y to enable these pages or N to
disable them.
10. Enter the queue name for your printer and the prompt and press Enter.
11. If you want this printer queue to be the default one, type Y at the prompt; otherwise,
type N. Press Enter.
12. Press Enter and then press Enter again to exit SMIT.
13. Edit the /etc/qconfig file. To search for your printer's name, type /printer_name and
press Enter. The command locates the following line:
printer_name : file = /dev/printer_name
14. Replace /dev with /dev/nic
15. Exit from the editor and save the file.
16. Restart the qdaemon process with the following command:
startsrc -s qdaemon
Repeat the procedure on each system that you want to have access to the printer.
