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.

The maximum number of ids that can be specified is 50. printer Name of the printer (for a complete list, use (see lpstat(1))). Specifying a printer cancels the request which is cur- rently printing on that printer, if the request is owned by the user. If the or the option is specified, this option only specifies the printer on which to perform the corresponding cancel operation. Remove all requests owned by the user on the specified printer (see printer). The owner is determined by the user's login name and host name on the machine where the command was invoked. Empty the spool queue of all requests for the specified printer. This form of invoking is useful only to users with appropriate privileges. Remove any requests queued belonging to that user (or users) for the specified printer. You can repeat the option to specify more users. The maximum number of users that can be specified is 50. This form of invoking is useful only to users with appropriate privileges. WARNINGS
A remote print request can be canceled only from the system on which the the original command was issued, and if the restrict cancel fea- ture (see lpadmin(1M)) is enabled for the specified printer, a request belonging to this printer can be canceled only by the system admin- istrator or the user who requested it.
