You are looking for rlpdaemon so I would suggest that you check to see if it is running:

ps -ef |grep rlpdaemon

Then man rlpdaemon to see how to set it up.

Good luck

Any standard HP-UX install will enable remote printing. The remote printing daemon is rlpdaemon and is defined in /etc/inetd.conf. To see if it is ready:

grep rlpdaemon /etec/inetd.conf

and it should return:

printer stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/rlpdaemon rlpdaemon -i

which means that all the printers on this HP-UX box are available for remote printing.
