Cenon,

You can add a remote printer in SAM.

On the Windows server, you've got to enable the LPD service in windows. See http://www.tkrh.demon.co.uk/ntp.html for more details on the Windows configuration part.

Cenon,

You will need to assign a static ip address (ie NON DHCP) to the printers internal network card or external print server.

The ip address should also be entered in the unix file /etc/hosts with a suitable alias name (like xx.xx.xx.xx nashuatec)

The you will need to add the remote printer under unix either from the command line using the command lpadmin

type in man lpadmin for more information

or

using the sam utility type or select:-

sam
printers and plotters
LP spooler
printers and plotters
Actions tab
Add remote printer/plotter
printer name (whatever you want to call the unix queue)
Remote System name (the alias name you entered in /etc/hosts)
Remote printer name text
tab to the bottom and click on Ok

from the command line type :-
lpshut
lpsched
enable (printer name as above)
accept (printer name as above)

Thats it completed !

This should get you sorted.

Hi!
I can show you the easiest way to do this -
you need to redirect tty-port.
So put my attachments /2 files/ to your
/usr/bin - directory and use it
like print -command:

#sfput

Good luck!
