Managing Systems and Workgroups: A Guide for HP-UX System Administrators

Conﬁguring a Workgroup

Conﬁguring Printers for a Workgroup

Chapter 4446

If a print queue exists, SAM displays the print queue information;

else, SAM prompts you for print queue name, spooler, and spooler

host. You can also set job scheduling method (to priority-fifo

or fifo) by choosing print queue options.

When you enter OK, if no Logical Printer object exists on your system,

SAM prompts you to create it with another dialogue box.

Alternatively, you can select Logical Printers from the List

pull-down menu. Then, from the Actions pull-down menu, choose

Add a Logical Printer. SAM prompts you for Logical Printer

name, print queue, and displays information about the print queue,

including spooler, spooler host, and physical printer(s).

As you create the HPDPS objects (physical printer, logical printer,

print queue, spooler, and supervisor), SAM report the results and

prompts you to continue creating the objects until you have created a

minimal set.

Exit SAM.

e. To use HPDPS, you have to activate the spooler and supervisor

daemons. The simplest way to do so is to execute the following HP-UX

commands:

/opt/pd/bin/pdstartspl

/opt/pd/bin/pdstartsuv

Step 3. Verify your HPDPS conﬁguration by sending a ﬁle to an

HPDPS-conﬁgured logical printer. For example,

pdpr -p Logical1 /etc/passwd

Automatically Starting HPDPS

Once you have implemented HPDPS on your system(s), you will want to

edit the start-up conﬁguration ﬁle, /etc/rc.config.d/pd, to start the

HPDPS daemons at system boot-up.

For detailed information on doing so, see “Automatically Starting

HPDPS,” in Chapter 4 of the HP Distributed Print Service

Administration Guide.
