We have new Xerox Phaser 3635 printers. On HPUX, is there a command to add the queues other than GUI interface, xpadmin? Please suggest...

Thank you...

lpadmin is the command line interface.

Thank you for the responses. What type I should use for the printer Xerox Phaser 3635 ? I used to use 257. I don't want to do generic either...please help.

I used the following command:

# /opt/hpnpl/bin/addqueue -q -h -i 257 -L AUTO -b off

Looks like few post scripts are not printing.

Sanjeev, Thank you for the response. I know I can add queue with manual entries, like I added with xpadmin. I am asking with one full command, so that I can setup the script.

Sanjeev,

Also, I want to add the network queue not the remote queue. We don't have the print server. So please assist me with lpadmin command.
