If the test print doesn’t work

If the test document doesn’t print, follow these steps:

1

Check whether the

rlp

daemon is running. At the UNIX prompt, type

ps -e | grep rlp

If the process is running, you will see one or more lines of text; if it is not
running, you will see no response.

2

If

rlp

is running—that is, you saw one or more lines of text in step 1— kill the process

by typing

kill -15

process_number_from_step_1

3

Make sure the following entry is in the

/etc/inetd.conf

file:

printer stream tcp nowait root

/usr/lib/rlpdaemon rlpdaemon -i

This line tells

inetd

to start the

rlp

daemon automatically when a print

request is made (if it’s not already running).

4

Make sure the following entry is in the

/etc/services

file:

printer 515/tcp spooler

5

Start

inetd

by typing the following command at the UNIX prompt:

/etc/inetd -c

6

Repeat the steps in “Configuring HP-UX Version 8.07.”

Configuring HP-UX version 9.xx

1

Assign an IP address and IP name to the printer, as described in “Step 3: Assigning an

IP Address to the Printer,” earlier in this chapter.

2

Make sure the printer’s IP name and IP address are entered in the

/etc/hosts

file.

3

Log in to the system console as

root

.

The System Administration Manager (SAM) uses a screen-oriented interface
that works best at the console.

4

Run the SAM utility by typing

sam

at the UNIX prompt.
