Want to add a new printer to AIX

Hello. I would like to add an HP printer to my AIX (5.2) system. The printer
is attached to a Windows PC via LPT1. We are using Novell as our LAN Smilie

I am somewhat familiar with SMIT and printer queues. Still a bit of a newbie.

I would like to be able to print from the AIX directly to this printer. We have
been using winptxfr for printing, but is a bit slow.
