Can't print from HP-UX server

Problem:

I am not able to Print from a Windows 95 Telnet session when connected to a remote HP-UX server. I can do all the other things except printing on a local printer.

Answer:

The RPM Remote Print Manager® setup is a step through process. The two important items are: IP address of the PC and the RPM queue name. These are used as pointers in the HP-UX print queue to point the job to the RPM host. Here is the steps of accessing RPM from HP-UX 10.x.

  1. Log in as root and run sam.
  2. Choose Printers and Plotters, LP Spooler, and Printers and Plotters (you will see all queues).
  3. Tab, Actions, Add Remote Printer/Plotter.
    • Printer name = <HPUX_NAME>        # Name of printer know on HP-UX
    • Remote system name = <x.x.x.x>        # IP address or hostname of RPM host. Should be configured in /etc/hosts or /etc/hosts.lpd
    • Remote printer name = <rpm_queue>     # Name of queue in RPM
    • Put "x" in "Remote printer is on a BSD system. This is an important choice as RPM emulates a BSD LPD print server almost completely.
  4. Tab to OK and press Enter.
  5. Exit sam and test.
