help connecting a plotter to HP-UX
While this is technically a newbie question, it is an advanced/expert situation so that's why I posted it here.

I'm an intern at a company that recently aquired another business that ran off the HP-UX 10.20 unix platform. They (and myself) do not have any experience with it. I have spent virtually my entire day scouring the internet and trying various commands in order to fix this problem, but I have had no luck.

The system came with an hp 7595a plotter which we need to connect to print drawings stored on the system.

I have gone to the printer jobs menu in unix and it shows a printer called paintjet. The current configuration is with a cable running from the plottter to a serial port on the c160 and then another cable from the plotter connected to an Emulex Performance 2500 which is connected at the c160's ethernet port.

This does not seem to tbe printer though. The program I am trying to plot with is Unigraphics V.15, but I have even tried printing with the text editor and it does not help.

Any help would be EXTREMELY appreciated.

Thanks!

ident2

ident2(8)						      System Manager's Manual							 ident2(8)

NAME

       ident2 - An advanced ident daemon

SYNOPSIS

       ident2 [options]

DESCRIPTION

       ident2 is an advanced ident daemon, which can run as an inetd service or on it's own. It has various features such as user defined and ran-
       dom replies, extensive logging, and full administrative control.

OPTIONS

       The program follows the usual GNU syntax command-line unless it is unsupported on your system. GNU options begin with two  dashes(`-')  and
       have much more descriptive names.

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options.

       -u, --usage
	      Shows example command lines

       -v, --version
	      Show version information

       -l, --license
	      Show licensing information

       -a, --force-inetd
	      Force inetd mode, if autodetection isn't working.

       -d, --force-daemon
	      Force standalone daemon, if autodetection isn't working.

       -i, --use-user-ident
	      Allow user defined ident replies. Just do a echo 'ident ar' > ~/.ident to change your ident reply.

       -y, --user-reply-file
	      File ident2 should look for in user's homedir for replies. Default is ~/.ident

       -n, --allow-noident-file
	      Disable replies for user if user has a ~/.noident file. This behavior is disabled by default.

       -o, --client-timeout
	      Clients timeout after this many seconds

       -s, --dont-change-uid
	      Ident2  will  normally  try  to change it's uid to something less privileged if it finds it's uid to be 0. This option disables this
	      behavior altogether.

       -r, --always-random
	      Always send a random reply, regardless of what kind of request the client made. This is useful for abusing  the  ident  protocol	as
	      well as assisting outgoing IP masqueraded connections.

       -m, --daemon-maxclients
	      Daemon-only: Accept no more than this many connections at a time.

       -p, --daemon-port
	      Daemon-only: Bind this port, instead of 'auth' aka 113

	      inetd(8), inetd.conf(5)
