Hi

Thanks . I added using this script ,In my case my printers are directly connected to server thru network and they are not routed thru any printserver.So ineed to add the printer name and Ip address of them in /etc/hosts.

#!/bin/ksh
###############################################################################
#  add_printers  Script to add remote, lan attached
###############################################################################
# shut down the print spooler
#############################
/usr/lib/lpshut
#############################
# for each printer listed , ...
#############################
for PRNTR in `cat /root/home/root/printer_list`
do
   #LPADMIN="lpadmin -p$PRNTR -v/dev/null -mrmodel -g0 -ocmrcmodel -osmrsmodel -orm$PRNTR"
  
   LPADMIN="lpadmin -p$PRNTR -orm$PRNTR  -orp$PRNTR -mrmodel -v/dev/null -ob3 -ocmrcmodel -osmrsmodel"

Details of the Command

lpadmin -p$PRNTR -v/dev/null -mrmodel -g0 -ocmrcmodel -osmrsmodel -orm$LOC.holst
ein.com -orp$PRNTR"

where $PRNTR is the name of the print queue and $LOC is the name of the server to which the printer is attached.
