7.2.3.1
Using UNIX Commands
Using LPR on AIX hosts involves a slightly different configuration procedure. The queue configuration file
is
/etc/qconfig
and the format of the entry is different, as shown in the example below. Note the lack of
colons (:) and the required white space.
Figure 7-5:
Example AIX qconfig entry
The device name is simply the queue name with a “d” added. Print to the queue using normal lp syntax.

7.2.3.2
Using SMIT
The System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) allows you to enable LPD printing and create print queues.
1
At the host prompt, type
SMIT
.
2
From the main window in the application, choose
Print Spooling
.
3
Choose
Manage Print Server
and Start the Print Server Subsystem (lpd daemon).
4
In the
Start the Print Server Subsystem
dialog box, type
BOTH
in the first field. Click
OK
.
5
The message “The lpd subsystem has been started” will appear in the Output section of the next win-
dow. Click

.
To add and use a print queue:
1
From the main window, choose
Print Spooling
.
2
Choose
Manage Print Server
and
Manage Print Queues

Choose
Add a print queue
.
4
From the dialog box that appears, choose
