Supporting LP Spooler Users
If HPDPS is installed on a single system, LP spooler users will be able to
directly access HPDPS printers without any further setup. The majority
of users, however, will probably not have HPDPS installed on their
systems, but if they are part of your TCP/IP network, they can access
HPDPS printers as described below.
Using the standard procedures for setting up a “remote” print queue, the
user can gain access to an HPDPS client. As a result, users who submit
print requests from within applications, or with LP spooler print
commands such as lp or lpstat, can route their jobs to HPDPS printers
by specifying an HPDPS logical printer as the destination for the job.
These users can access an HPDPS-managed printer to use the following
LP spooler commands:
• lp to print jobs
• lpstat to receive status of their jobs
• cancel to cancel jobs
