Determining Filesets to Install and Where to Install Them
HPDPS software is bundled under the CDE Run-Time Environment (or
under Instant Ignition under the Run-Time Environment) in the product
DistributedPrint.
You can install the entire product or selected filesets, depending on the
role your system plays in the distributed print environment.
These are the filesets:
PD-CLIENT Mandatory. Select this fileset to use
the HPDPS commands. You must
also have this fileset if you plan to
manage the print environment with
SAM.
PD-SPOOLER Select this fileset to run an HPDPS
spooler on the system.
PD-SUPERVISOR Select this fileset to run an HPDPS
supervisor on the system.
PD-COMMON A backend-dependency fileset used by
all components.
PD-SERVCOMMON A backend-dependency fileset used by
spooler and supervisor code.
When using swinstall to select HPDPS filesets for client, spooler,
and/or supervisor, the appropriate backend-dependency fileset(s) will be
pulled in automatically.
You will use this information in “Implementing HPDPS” on page 444.

Variables
Table 2-7 on page 121 shows the values set in /etc/rc.config.d/pd.
Once your HPDPS configuration is stable, you may want to edit this file
to set the values, so that when HP-UX boots, it activates the
configuration automatically.
