Conﬁguring Printers for a Workgroup

Chapter 4444

NOTE When you remove a printer class, the printers in the class are not

removed — you may still use them as individual printers. If you remove

all printers from a class, that printer class is automatically removed.

Conﬁguring Printers to Use HPDPS

IMPORTANT HPDPS is not supported on versions of HP-UX after HP-UX 11i Version

1.0.

This section gives the following procedures for setting up and activating

the HP Distributed Print Services:

• “Implementing HPDPS” on page 444

• “Automatically Starting HPDPS” on page 446

• “Modifying Users’ Environments to Use HPDPS” on page 447

For conceptual information about HPDPS, read “HP Distributed Print

Service (HPDPS)” on page 113.

Implementing HPDPS

Step 1. Install the requisite ﬁle sets, using swinstall. For more information, see

“Determining Filesets to Install and Where to Install Them” on

page 121.

NOTE If you plan to use SAM to implement and administer HPDPS, be sure to

install an HPDPS client on the system from which you will be running

SAM.

Step 2. The easiest way to implement HPDPS is to use SAM to create the

HPDPS objects. Here is how to do so for an HPDPS Basic Environment

on a system for which the LP Spooler is already conﬁgured:

a. As superuser, execute sam.
