NAME
lpweb - invokes the HP-UX Printer Management tool
SYNOPSIS
lpweb [ -F ][-b
]
lpweb [ -t ]
DESCRIPTION
The HP-UX Printer Management tool (
lpweb) is used to configure the LP spooling sub-system. It allows
the user to view and configure Printers and Print Requests. The tool also allows the user to save and
restore spooler configuration.
The HP-UX Printer Management tool provides both Web-based and terminal user interface.
The Web-based interface is launched through the HP System Management Homepage. Superuser
privileges are required to access the HP-UX Printer Management tool.
An attempt will be made to connect to a Mozilla/Netscape Web browser running on the X server defined
by the
DISPLAY environment variable. If a running Mozilla/Netscape client is found, it will be used, oth-
erwise a new Mozilla/Netscape session will be initiated. This will only happen if the Mozilla/Netscape
process is running in the same system as that referenced by the
DISPLAY variable, unless the -F option
is used.
Note: By default, the HP-UX Printer Management tool (
lpweb
) invokes the Mozilla Web browser. If you
want to support any other browser (Netscape), set the
BROWSER environment variable as shown below:
export BROWSER=/opt/netscape/netscape
The terminal user interface is invoked if any of the following conditions are true:
• The command
/usr/sbin/lpweb
is invoked with the -t option.
• The
DISPLAY environment variable is not set.
The Web-based interface is launched if all the following conditions are true:
• The command
/usr/sbin/lpweb
is invoked with -F option.
• The
DISPLAY environment variable is set.
• The command
/opt/hpsmh/lbin/samweb
is available on the system.
Options
lpweb recognizes the following options:
-F Forces a client browser to be used in less secure ways.
The
-F option forces the client browser to be used or started, even when the X-traffic
between the X-server and the Mozilla browser is not secure.
Use this option only when you are sure the network traffic between the host where
Mozilla is running and the host in the
DISPLAY variable is secure.
-b If a privileged user (root) executes the lpweb command with the -b option, a temporary
login bypass key is generated. The bypass key enables the user to access the Web inter-
face without having to provide login information again.
Note: You can also start the HP-UX Printer Management tool using one of the following methods:
• Invoke • Invoke the HP-UX Printers and Plotters Configuration tool Web interface by typ-
ing the URL
http://hostname :2301/lpweb/lpweb.cgi in the address bar of your
browser, where hostname is the fully qualified name of the server.
• Launch the HP-UX Systems Insight Manager on the server and select the Printer Manage-
ment tool from Configure -> HP-UX Configuration menu
