EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Environment Variables
LANG determines the language in which messages are displayed.
If LANG is not specified or is set to the empty string, a default of "C" (see lang(5)) is used instead of
LANG.
If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting,
lpadmin behaves as if all internationaliza-
tion variables are set to "C" (see environ(5)).
EXAMPLES
Assuming an existing Hewlett-Packard HP 2934A line printer named
lp1, it will use the hp2934a model
interface through
/dev/lp after the command:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -plp1 -mhp2934a -v/dev/lp
Assuming a printer lp on a remote system
system2, the command:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -plp3 -v/dev/null -mrmodel -ocmrcmodel -osmrsmodel
-ob3 -ormsystem2 -orplp -v/dev/null
causes the spool system to use the local line printer lp3 and the model rmodel. The spool system also
uses the model
rcmodel to cancel remote requests and rsmodel to get status from system2.In
addition, the three-digit sequence numbers, the remote system name
system2 and the remote printer
lp are used.
WARNINGS
When installing remote printers, use the option -ocmrcmodel instead of
-oci/usr/sbin/rcancel
to specify the method used to cancel remote requests. The option
-osmrsmodel should be used instead of -osi/usr/sbin/rlpstat
to specify the method used for
displaying remote status.
classes must not include remote printers. HP-UX systems do not have the ability to distribute print jobs in
this way. Printing to a class of printers on a remote system (
systemB for example) must be accomplished
by creating the class on the remote system, then identifying that class by using a command resembling the
following (though you might have to change some of the specific values shown in the example):
lpadmin -plocal_name -ormsystemB -orpsystemB_class_name -v /dev/null
-mrmodel -ocmrcmodel -osmrsmodel
