Configuring Logical Printers as HPDPS Gateway Printers
Configuring Logical Printers as HPDPS
Gateway Printers
To access a remote environment, you must create an HPDPS Gateway
Printer in the local environment for a logical printer in the remote
environment. You use the pdcreate command to create a logical printer
in the spooler, while specifying a special set of attributes as shown here:.
pdcreate -c printer -x "pd-gway-foreign-host= ForeignHost \
pd-gway-foreign-printer=
ForeignPrinter " \
LocalSpooler : HPDPSGatewayPrinterName
where:
pd-gway-foreign-host This attribute identifies the remote
host where the remote printer resides
and where the HPDPS client daemon
must execute.
If the remote environment is a DCE
Extended Environment, then enter
the name of any host in the DCE cell
that executes an HPDPS client
daemon.
If the remote environment is a Basic
Environment, then enter the name of
the standalone host.
pd-gway-foreign-printer This attribute identifies the remote
printer.
LocalSpooler This is an existing spooler in the local
environment where the HPDPS
Gateway Printer is to be added.
HPDPS Gateway PrinterName This is the name by which the printer
is known locally. This name must not
conflict with an existing logical
printer name or an existing spooler
name in the local environment.
