USE of HP-UX default spooler for Network printing.
Hi All,

Can anyone inform me; is it possible to use HP-UX (11i) spooler to print in network printer?

And is there any limitation on print spooler queue size??

Suppose due to some reason, the printer get halted and you have print jobs in spooler queue, then after printer resume printing once again, will it take the print jobs automatically from the spooler or we need to put the print jobs once again in the spooler.

Also can anyone tell me what is the default spooler type/name for HP-UX 11i server (for example, whether it is BSD spooling system or SVR4 spooling system)

Any answer to all my above questions will be appreciated.




Thank you.

Regards,
Sundeep.

directomatic

DIRECTOMATIC(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   DIRECTOMATIC(1)

NAME

       directomatic - Print without spooler

SYNOPSIS

       directomatic -P <printdef> [-J jobtitle] [-o option=value [...]] [file]

DESCRIPTION

       Directomatic is a filter script to print with free software printer drivers without the need of a print spooler.  It is designed to be used
       together with a Foomatic printer definition file.

   Options
       -P <printdef>
		 where printdef is the printer definition file to use.

       -J <jobtitle>
		 where job title will be printed in the head line of every page of a plain text job.

       -o option=value
		 Set an arbitrary option.

       file	 The file to print.

   Commands
       Directomatic will print from standard input unless a file to print is specified on the command line.  If your printer definition file is in
       /etc/foomatic/direct or ~/.foomatic/direct you do not need to specify its path.	Put a (instructions in the file) to redirect the output of
       directomatic to your printer instead of standard output. To make normal users able to print this way add them to group lp and make sure the
       appropriate printer device file /dev/lpX is group-writable.

       See http://www.linuxprinting.org/direct-doc.html

FILES

       /etc/foomatic/direct/<queue>
				The foomatic printer definition file.

EXIT STATUS

       directomatic returns 0 unless something unexpected happens.

AUTHOR

       Manfred Wassmann <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de> for the foomatic project using output from the associated binary.

BUGS

       None so far.
