Creating a Printer Class
A printer class is created when you assign the first printer to it with HP SMH or the
lpadmin command. For information on what printer classes are, see HP-UX System
Administrator's Guide: Overview.
You can assign a local printer or a network printer to a class.
You cannot assign a remote printer to a local printer class. However, you can create
the class on the remote system and designate the class name as a remote printer on the
local system.
You can use HP SMH to add a printer to a printer class when the printer is being added
to the spooler; otherwise, you must use HP-UX commands.
Creating a Printer Class Using HP-UX Commands
To use HP-UX commands, follow these steps after several printers have been added
to the LP spooler:
1. Ensure that you have superuser capabilities.
2. Create the printer class, specifying a printer you want to add to the class of printers.
For example, to add a printer named laser1 to the class of printers named laser,
enter:
# /usr/sbin/lpadmin -plaser1 -claser
Only one printer can be added to a class at a time. If you have more than one
printer to add, repeat this command.
3. Allow print requests to be accepted for the newly added printer class. For example:
# /usr/sbin/accept laser
