Has anyone ported lpr/lpd to HP-UX, preferably 7.0? If so, where can I get it (ftp)? Thanks alot... Steven W.

lpr and lpd functionality is included in HPUX 7.0. See the manual pages on lp, rlp, lpsched, lpadmin, and rlpdaemon. When SAM is used to set up a remote printer, equivalent functionality for lpr and lpd should then be available, just use lp. Remote printing to and from BSD 4.3 systems is an integral part of the HP-UX 7.0 spooler system. Bob Lienhart

>Remote printing to and from BSD 4.3 systems is an integral part of >the HP-UX 7.0 spooler system. Oh no! I'm going to have to turn off my remote printer queue under HP-UX 3.1? Instead of The Fine Manual, here is an example: lpshut lpadmin -xalw0 lpadmin -palw0 -ccombined -mrmodel -v/dev/null -ob3 -ocmrcmodel \ -osmrsmodel -orc -orplp -ormsun31 accept alw0 combined lpadmin -dalw0 lpsched Note that the class is "combined", although printing to a class doesn't work anyway :-) Also, the printer queue on the BSD machine should be the same name as on your HP... ********************************************************************* Tony Burzio * New address!

1) You don't have to use classes. Dunno if they work, because I don't
use them. Our printers are to distributed.
2) The printer queue name doesn't have to be the same on both
machines. It didn't have to be when I had 3.10 and it doesn't have
to be now with 7.0.
3) NOTE: I haven't been using -orc (restrict cancel to owner).
4) IMHO the HP-UX Spooler works fine!

Printer classes in conjuction with remote spoolers are not supported. The primary objective for using classes is to handle several printers of the same variety and send requests to the one that is available. All the printers in the class as usually located in a common area so a user does not have to hunt too far to find his/her printout. If remote printers were allowed to be set up as a class, the user would have to hunt far and wide to locate his/her printout. Also remote classes would require the sending scheduler to know which remote printer is "likely" to be available next. This necessary data just is not available between remote systems. Thus it has been determined that remote classes just do not make any real sense. Bob Lienhart
