TCP/IP printing/printservers with AIX5?
Ok... I have tried searching everywhere for some information on how to print to TCP/IP printservers.. but I can't seem to find the info I need.

Has anyone setup something like this with AIX5?

Basically what I have is a Parallel port TCP/IP print server from D-Link which is directly attached to the printer and configured with an IP addy on our network.

How do I send print jobs to this printserver?

I've tried setting up remote printer queue's but it seems to be for remote AIX hosts??

Anyone?!?

Thanks!
Sascha

Hi,
check if your local host is configured to talk to your printer
"enq -A" will generate list of all the available Queues and their status' currently on your system
"enq -W" will give you your default queue.
In this output If you dont see the Queue/Printer you are mentioning, then you will have to add it.
if you do then try by sending a test file to that printer with "enq <filename> "
