During this process you also select a particular printer type for the new printer, which inherits the set of predefined attributes for that printer type. In most cases, this set of attributes will be sufficient, but it can be changed either through SMIT or by using the chvirprt command. If you need to make more extensive changes on your printer, see the AIX RISC System/ 6000 documentation for information. Before you edit the files, be sure that the following daemon is running: /usr/nic/nic_print /dev/nic/printer_name printfast 10001 & Use the following procedures to add or change virtual printers: 1. Run nicinst. When prompted, enter information for the following questions: • Nodename (host name in the /etc/hosts file) • Printer name • Unit type • Port number - Enter 1 for parallel port 1 Answer y to accept the configuration and n when prompted to configure another printer. 2. At the prompt, type smit, then press Enter. 3. Choose Devices. 4. Choose Printer/Plotter. 5. Choose Manage Local Printer Subsystem. 6. Choose 1.
