HP distributed print services, who I can disable it?

[Martin Araujo]

We have an HP 380/1 with UX 11.00.
I need to disable HP distributed print service.
Who I can do this?.
I can do this with SAM?.

[Rick Garland]

root generally has the control over stuff like this.
From command line: lpshut

Can also be done inside of SAM but again root probably needs to do this.

I'm not using HPDPS, what I know is that you can configure it with SAM. Check sam under ->Printer and ploters->HPDS if you have disable or unconfigure option. Are you using DCE? HPDPS is based in DCE, so I think if you disable DCE (if not using it to something else), you can be ok.
OR
Check swlist -l product | grep Print
If HPDPS is shown (I'm not sure if is there), you can use swremove (both swlist and swremove are available via sam).

Or you could
/sbin/init.d/pd stop
to stop the distributed priting service and disable it by editing the /etc/rc.config.d/pd and disabling startup.

(this is assuming that you may one day want to re-enable it :)
