Re: adding a printer
U follow these steps
First make sure that U are able to ping to the printer.. This just to confirm that Ur network connectivity is ok or not .. then
open sam and follow this
sam->printers and plotters->lp spooler->Printes and plotters->action->add printer
Here select network printer and give the rqd parameters care fully. Once U have done, come out of sam and do this
#lpstat -t
Make sure that ur printer scheduler is running and printer is enable and accepting the request. If not ok
#lpsched
#enable
#accept
#lpstat -t
#lp -d
Check up printout is coming or not
Best of luck

Re: adding a printer
Try hp jetdirect to add a network printer,
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?prodNum=J4189AA&prodName=hp+jd+printer+installer+for+hp-ux+11.x&locale=en_US&taskId=8418&taskName=download+drivers+%26+software&prodTypeId=13037&prodSeriesId=27349&prodSeriesName=hp+jd+printer+installer+for+hp-ux+11.x
Download it from the link and install the same. There is a readme which will help you.
Or you can download the older version, called jetadmin like this,
ftp ftp.hp.com
username : anonymous
password : your_email_address
bin
cd /pub/networking/software
get HP11d621.SD (for hp 11.x)
bye
Hope this helps.

Re: adding a printer
1. When you do a lpshut it stops the scheduler so that there cant be any lp process running , hence the output.
2.why it cant find the memeber is there no file defined in /usr/spool/lp/memeber witht that name . the absic command to add a printer is lapdmin -p
Do use the coomand w/o the other options and may be use jet admin to add a network printer

Re: adding a printer
The command "/usr/sam/lbin/lpmgr" was successful with the following
exception: lpstat: "lipi" not a request id or a destination lpstat: no entries lpstat: can't open output queue file
A potential problem occurred doing "accept lipi". Stderr from this
command is "/usr/sbin/accept: destination "lipi" non-existent".
A potential problem occurred doing "enable lipi". Stderr from this
command is "/usr/bin/enable: printer "lipi" non-existent".
pl suggest me what to do

Re: adding a printer
what is the o/p of lpstat -t , i believe that there some problem , why dont you just recreate a printer wiht another name then lipi , or delete the current one
lpshut
lpadmin -xlipi
and then recreate it .
I would still prefer that you use jetadmin and that is not so sticky.

Re: adding a printer
You are missing some directory or permission problem.
/etc/lp/*
/var/spool/lp/*
/usr/lib/lp/*
