Configuring a Printer without Adding a Queue
Use the following procedure if you want to add a printer or plotter, but you do not want to
spool print jobs.
Note: If you also want to add print queues when you configure your printer, refer to ”Initial
Printer Configuration”, on page 2-7.
Prerequisites
The printer or plotter must be physically attached to your system to configure the printer
port.
smit Command
1. At the system prompt, type:
smit pdp
2. Select Add a Printer/Plotter.
3. Provide additional information as prompted.
qprt Command
The following describes how to queue a print job using the qprt command, the enq
command, the lp command, or the lpr command. The syntax is the same for all three
queuing commands, except that the –d flag (instead of the –P flag) should be specified with
the lp command:
Command –PQueueName FileName
where:
QueueName Name of the print queue.
FileName Name of the file to be printed.
The following example demonstrates how to use the qprt command:
qprt –Pfastest myfile
Refer to the individual queuing commands for additional flags that can be specified.
