setnetlp

setnetlp(1M)															      setnetlp(1M)

NAME

       setnetlp - configure the LP spooling system for network printers

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/setnetlp
       /usr/sbin/setnetlp -p printer [options]
       /usr/sbin/setnetlp -x printer

DESCRIPTION

       The  command  configures  network  printers  in the LP spooling systems with specified printer model interface file.  It is used to add and
       remove specified printer that is referred as a LP destinations, change configuration of the printer if the printer exists.

       Network printers that support lpd protocol or JetDirect interface can be configured by The command is a shell procedure.   It  calls  lpad-
       min(1M)	command for lpd printer configuration. It may also call addqueue(1) and removequeue(1) commands for configuring printers with Jet-
       Direct interface when the optional software HP JetDirect Printer Installer for Unix is installed on the system.

       Exactly one of the -p, -x options or no options must be present for every legal invocation of

	      -p printer     Names a printer to which all of the options below refer.  If printer does not exist, it will be created.

	      -x printer     Removes the printer from the LP spooling system.  The printer is a LP destination configured in the LP spooling  sys-
			     tem.  No other options are allowed with -x.

       The following options are required for -p and can appear in any order.

	      -orm machine   The name of the remote machine or IP address of the network printer is machine.

	      -om model      This  option  selects  a  printer	model  interface  program for printer.	The model is one of the model file name at
			     /usr/lib/lp/model/* supplied with the LP software or generated by	psmsgen(1M).   Refer  to  lpadmin(1M)  Models  for
			     details.

       One and only one of the following options is required for -p and can appear in any order.

	      -orp rprinter  The  name of the remote printer queue that has configured on the remote machine is rprinter.  This option is required
			     to configure lpd printer and can not be used with -jd option.

	      -jd	     When this option is specified, configures	the  printer  using  commands  provided  by  HP JetDirect Printer Install-
			     er for Unix

       Interactive terminal user interface (TUI) will be invoked when is invoked without any options.  At the TUI, values of all options described
       above can be set.  In addition, for some printer model, defaults of model  interface  options  also  can  be  customized.   When  HP JetDi-
       rect Printer Installer for Unix	is  available  on the system, some recommended initial values for options may be provided for some printer
       model.  The model customization support feature by is available only for TUI.  No customization is performed by non-interactive	invocation
       of To customize model options for a printer without the TUI, pre-customized model file needs to be generated before running for configuring
       the printer.

EXAMPLES

       Assuming a LIPS printer supported lpd protocol on a network as remote printer host name lphost and remote printer name lipslp the command:

	      /usr/sbin/setnetlp -p netlp -orm lphost -orp lipslp -om LIPS4

       causes the spool system to use the local printer netlp and the local model file LIPS4.
