Install driver

[juno2]

I have install a printer driver to the HP UX 10.2 system, how can I whether it is successfully installed and which system path is the driver installed.

[Pete Randall · Accepted solution]

Go into SAM, kernel configuration, drivers. The driver should show up as being configured into the kernel. A driver is not necessarily associated with a path, it's associated with a device - use ioscan -fn and find your printer, you should see the driver associated with it.

There is nothing called printer driver on unix. If the printer is connected to HP-UX, the interface scripts in /etc/lp/interface is used.

You will have to add printer with lpadmin command.

If printer is connected to Windows machine, you can use samba to add that printer on HP-UX.

Gee, when I look at my kernel drivers, there's these things called lpr2 and lpr3 listed! They sure look like printer drivers to me!

Juno,

May be I got your question wrong.

If you are taking abt drive for printing subsystem, then check in sam. kernel config, drives.

Also kmsystem|grep -i lpr
