Creating Printers
The following procedure lets you create a Printer object to represent a
physical printer on the network.
You must have a printer, along with a print server and a print queue, in order
for network users to share printers.
Procedure
1 From the browser’s “Object” menu for the Organization or Organizational unit,
choose “Create.”
The “New Object” dialog appears.
2 Select “Printer.”
The “Create Printer” dialog appears.
3 Type a name of your choice in the “Printer Name” field.
For example, type “P1”.
This is both the name of the Printer object as it appears in the Directory tree and
as it is loaded at the NetWare for HP-UX server console or workstation. Object
naming conventions must be followed.
4 (Optional) Mark the “Define Additional Properties” box.
This allows you to define additional information about this printer immediately
after you create it.
5 Select “Create.”
The object dialog for Printer P1 appears, similar to that shown in the following
figure.
