Using HP-UX
Commands
Step 1. Ensure that you have superuser capabilities.
Step 2. Stop the LP spooler:
/usr/sbin/lpshut
For more information, see “Stopping and Restarting the LP Spooler” on
page 703.
Step 3. Add the remote printer.
• If the remote printer is on an HP-UX system, enter:
lpadmin -p local_printer -v /dev/null -mrmodel \
-orm remote_machine -orp remote_dest -ocmrcmodel \
-osmrsmodel
• If the remote printer is not on an HP-UX system, enter:
lpadmin -p local_printer -v /dev/null -mrmodel \
-orm remote_machine -orp remote_dest -ocmrcmodel \
-osmrsmodel -ob3
See lpadmin (1M) for details on the options. Also see “Printer Model
Files” on page 109 for information to provide to the -m option.
Step 4. Allow print requests to be accepted for the newly added remote printer.
For example:
/usr/sbin/accept local_printer
Step 5. If the printer being added will be the default printer, execute the
following:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -d local_printer
