Modifying Users’ Environments to Use HPDPS
Enabling Users to Access HPDPS Printers
During the installation process, HPDPS adds /opt/pd/bin to the
HP-UX PATH environment variable. For users to access HPDPS
commands, they should have the same path set in their environment.
You (or your users) can add the path to the HPDPS executables to their
/etc/PATH file by issuing the following at prompt:
PATH=$PATH:/opt/pd/bin
Defining a Default Logical Printer
For users’ ease of use, set the PDPRINTER environment variable to
designate a default logical printer.
For example, to set the value of PDPRINTER to laserjet1, edit the
systemwide /etc/profile file and add the line:
export PRPRINTER=laserjet1
Users can also add the same line to their .profile files to set a default
logical printer.
