Enter the following data:

In order to prevent problems occurring with the net commands under MS-DOS,

the printer and printer class names must consist of a maximum of eight
characters. Use lowercase and/or the characters -, _ !

Ê

Select and under the

Line Printer Configuration and options

menu to

create a new printer class.

The printer class can also be created using the Advanced Server for UNIX

commands instead of the UNIX commands.

Ê

Enter

class_1

, for example, as the name of the new printer class.

Ê

Activate the printer and printer class using the following commands:

enable asxp_hpl
accept asxp_hpl
accept class_1

Ê

Check the printer using the command

lpstat -a
lp -dclass_1 /etc/hosts

When sharing the printer, link the name of the printer (here

asxp_hpl

) with the sharename.

For information on sharing a printer with Advanced Server for UNIX, please refer to the
“Concepts and Planning” manual.
