HP-UX System Administrator's Guide: Overview HP-UX 11i v3 (B3921-90011, September 2010)
reject
Prohibits new print requests from being submitted to a print queue (associated with
a printer or class).
enable
Allows the printing of queued print requests to the specified printer.
disable
Inhibits the printing of queued print requests to the specified printer. If the print
queue associated with the printer is still accepting new requests the requests will
build up in the queue until the printer is again enabled. If the queue is associated
with a class and other printers in the class remain enabled, disabling a specific printer
only inhibits printing to that printer. Print requests coming to the class queue will
still print on the other active printers in the class.
LP Spooler Integration with LDAP-UX
If you have configured your HP-UX system to use LDAP-UX Client Services, the daemon
ldapclientd initializes printer configurator services when it starts running.
Printer configurator services will periodically scan an LDAP Directory Server for printer entries.
If it finds any, it will extract the necessary information to compare against printers currently
configured in the local spooler (on the client system).
If the Printer Configurator Service discovers that new entries for printers have been configured
on the LDAP Directory Server, the printer configurator service will configure those new printers
into the local spooler automatically.
If Printer Configurator Service discovers printer configuration entries have been removed from
the LDAP Directory Server, the Printer Configurator Service will automatically remove the
corresponding entries from the local spooler.
In this way, by configuring printers in one place (the LDAP server), you can automatically add
printers to (or remove printers from) numerous client systems automatically.
NOTE: Even if a client system is configured to use LDAP-UX and its Printer Configurator
Services, a system administrator can still configure printers in the client’s spooler manually.

Client Services and the Printer Configurator Services
Security and Access Control
HP-UX has many tools for securing your servers and data. Threats to your servers and data can
be either malicious or accidental, as well as physical (fires, earthquakes, failing hardware, and
so on). Or, they can be logical (misbehaving software, hacking, and so on).
For information about the tools available to protect your servers and data against loss from the
threats mentioned previous, see “Data Protection Tools” (page 104).
Controlling Access to Data Using Legacy Unix File Ownership and Privileges
HP-UX has the ability to control access to directories and files using a combination of:
• User and Group ownership of files and directories
• File and Directory mode
Using these, a file or directory is assigned an owner, a group, and an access mask called a mode,
which collectively determine:
Files Who can read, write, or attempt to execute the file.
