HP-UX System Administrator's Guide: Configuration Management

• Remote Printer is on a BSD system
Check the box if the remote operating system is BSD.
• Remote Cancel Name
The default is rcmodel.
• Remote Status Name
The default is rsmodel.
• Default Request Priority
This is the minimum priority (fence) that a print job must have in order to
print on this printer. 0 is the lowest.
• Allow Anyone to Cancel a Request
Check the box if you want to allow anyone, not just the owner or a superuser,
to cancel print requests for this printer. This can be a convenient idea for a
small workgroup.
• Make this Printer the Default Destination
Check the box to make this printer your system’s default.
6. When all fields are filled in, select OK. If the configuration was unsuccessful, HP
SMH returns with troubleshooting information. Most likely problems will be
related to the remote system configuration. Check as follows:
a. Edit /etc/services (on the remote system), and if necessary, uncomment
the line beginning with printer by removing the #.
b. Ensure no systems are restricted from access by /var/adm/inetd.sec.
c. Make sure rlpdaemon is running.
