Spooler configuration for Hewlett-Packard platforms This procedure is valid for HP-UX Release 9.0. Use the H-P System Administrator Manager program (SAM) to configure an H-P workstation. Log in as root on your workstation. Edit /etc/hosts and add a line that defines the printer's IP address and its remote machine name. The IP address you enter here for the printer must be the same address you specified as the Tektronix printer IP address when you configured the printer. The remote machine name is the name by which your workstation identifies the printer. (You will enter this same name as the remote system name later in this procedure.) For example: 134.62.33.138 tekphaser In this example, 134.62.33.138 is the printer's IP address and tekphaser is the printer's remote machine name. From the command line, type: sam Highlight Peripheral Devices from the menu, then press Return or F4 for Select Item at the bottom of the menu. Highlight Printers/Plotters from the menu. Press Return or F4. Select Add Remote Printer/Plotter from the Actions menu. Fill in the fields. See the following table for example entries and descriptions.
