HP-UX
Adding the IP address and host name to the /etc/hosts file
The following line is added to the /etc/hosts file. The IP address and printer host name previously entered in the installation script will be used:
192.168.15.16 np # Network Printer
192.168.15.16 is the IP address, np is the host name, from # to the end of the line is the comment.
The /etc/hosts file contains a list of IP addresses and host names of all hosts communicating on the network. Each entry is delimited with a space or a tab, and each line is separated with a return.
If you do not use NIS or DNS, you must manually enter the IP address and host name of each workstation using the network printer in the /etc/hosts file.
Registering the printer
The installation shell script registers the printer as a remote printer following the procedure below:
Stop the scheduler.
/usr/lib/lpshut
Register the printer.
/usr/lib/lpadmin -Pnp -v/dev/null -mrmodel
-ormnphost -orpoption -ob3
np is the printer name, nphost is the host name.
For details about "option", see Specifying the Device Option.
"lp" will be assigned, if the option is not used.
Set the printer so the print job is listed in the print queue.
/usr/lib/accept np
Set the printer to perform the print job.
/usr/lib/enable np
Restart the scheduler.
/usr/lib/lpsched
