Conﬁguring Printers for a Workgroup

Chapter 4440

Only one printer can be added to a class at a time. If you have more than

one printer to add, repeat this command.

Step 4. Allow print requests to be accepted for the newly added printer class.

For example:

/usr/sbin/accept laser

Step 5. Restart the LP spooler:

/usr/sbin/lpsched

Removing a Printer from the LP Spooler

Using SAM

Step 1. Invoke SAM as superuser.

Step 2. Select Printers and Plotters.

Step 3. Highlight the printer or plotter you are removing.

Step 4. From the Actions pull-down menu, choose Remove ...

NOTE SAM asks for conﬁrmation before removing the printer from the LP

spooler. If print jobs remain in the printer’s queue or if the printer is the

system default destination, SAM notiﬁes you. If you choose to remove a

printer with jobs in its queue, SAM cancels them.

Using HP-UX

commands

Step 2. (Optional): Notify users that you are removing the printer from the

system.

Step 3. Remove the printer from the conﬁguration ﬁle of any software

application through which the device is accessed. (Refer to the

documentation accompanying the software application for instructions.)
