slp command

Hi All,
i am unable to run "slp" command(used for printer control like page length,indent etc) on a HP-UX 10.2 system.If i give the command (i have verified the syntax--it is ok) i get a error--"the device file is not a printer--or some thing like that".Otherwise there is no problem on printer config/device file/printer.It is a working setup....Any Clues???????
**It works well on a HP-UX 9.X system. ***

As far as I know, you get this error if the printer driver is not one of the lp(7) ("man 7 lp") drivers.

So for the device file which you specify in the slp(1) command, please do:

lssf /dev/...
ioscan -fn -H ....

where "...." is the hardware path reported by the lssf(1M) command.
