What is the deal with the lpadmin commands in rel 3.51 on the 7300? The documentation is identical to other Sys V vendors (HP, Sun,...) The %!$@#* user agent has it's idea of what and how the spooler can be configured and does not appear to allow new printer models and/or interfaces. I added an entry in /etc/printers, went back into the UA and when I opened the window for printer setup the operation craps out without and message or error. As root (in ksh) I have tried almost every possible combination(s) to {add/remove} {printers/classes/devices/models} to no avail. It seems to me that if a vendor claims to be UNIX their product had better behave like UNIX (or at least document the system specific differences). Greg(we don't need no steenking UA windows!)Berg

You have to be user "lp" to use the lp administration stuff. Dave Wood
