Run 'uname -X' to get the operating system release info.
Run 'scoadmin' and open the printers section to list all the printers, a 'L' in column 1 indicates a local printer, or HP printer, an 'R' indicates a remote lpr/lpd printer.
If you can use a graphical X session, scoadmin is much easier to use, otherwise use the following.
The scoadmin screen made up of three rectangles, use the tab key to change rectangles.
Use the arrow keys to move about within a rectangle
Use the enter key to make a selection.
Use the space bar to mark a row, or radio button.
Okay the operating system release info is 3.2v5.0.7
It's a remote printer

Hi - Dummy question #1....
We either use the Hewlett Packard HPPI too or LPADMIN command to setup out printers. Is there an LPADMIN command that will show you the default config of a particular printer.

PAP(1) General Commands Manual PAP(1)
NAME
pap, papstatus - client interface to remote printers using Printer Access Protocol
SYNOPSIS
pap [ -c ] [ -e ] [ -p nbpname ] [ -s statusfile ] [ files ]
papstatus [ -p nbpname ]
DESCRIPTION
pap is used to connect and send files to an AppleTalk connected printer using the Apple Printer Access Protocol (PAP). When pap starts
execution, it tries to open a session with the printer using PAP, and then downloads the files to the printer.
If no files are given on the command line, pap begins reading from standard input.
If no printer is specified on the command line, pap looks for a file called .paprc in the current working directory and reads it to obtain
the nbpname of a printer. Blank lines and lines that begin with a `#' are ignored. type and zone default to LaserWriter and the zone of
the local host, respectively.
Note that pap is designed to be useful as a communication filter for sending lpd(8) spooled print jobs to AppleTalk connected printers.
See psf(8) for hints on how to use it this way.
OPTIONS
-c Take cuts. Normally pap tells the printer how long it has been waiting. When -c is specified, pap claims to have been waiting for-
ever.
-e Send any message from the printer to stderr instead of stdout. psf(8) invokes pap with this option.
-p nbpname
Connect to the printer named nbpname and do not consult the .paprc file to find a printer name. See nbp_name(3) for the syntax of
nbpname.
-s statusfile
Update the file called statusfile to contain the most recent status message from the printer. pap gets the status from the printer
when it is waiting for the printer to process input. The statusfile will contain a single line terminated with a newline. This is
useful when pap is invoked by psf(8) within lpd's spool directory.
FILES
.paprc file that contains printer name
