Adding the printer quue

Hi,

The procedure to add the network printer queue is not a difficult task at any time, in AIX too.

Example: Printer IP (192.168.1.2)
Put the entry in your AIX server host file

vi /etc/hots
192.168.1.2 tallyprinter

Smitty printer --> print spooling --> Add a print queue -->remote--> Local filtering before sending to print server--> others(select if printer is not listed)-->generic printer -->

ASCII (lp001)
hostname of remote server (tallyprinter)
name of the queue on the remote server (lp001)

press Enter...............

now the network printer is added with the name "lp001"
you can check the printer with the command
"lp -dlp001 /etc/host"



regards,
Guru
