lpsystem from 10.x to 11.x

lpsystem from 10.x to 11.x

I???m freely distributing and providing free limited support for a printer interface script that provides full functionality for Canon networked copiers from the lpsystem. I have HP-UX10.20 and it appears to work very well. I have been receiving calls from HP-UX 11.x admins asking if it will work on their system. I do not have the answer.

Can someone tell me if the lpsystem changed from 10.x to 11.x?
My specific concerns are:
1. Most important, does 11.x still use lpsystem? If so???
2. Does the PIS go in /usr/lib/lp/model
3. are the UID/GID still ???bin???
4. Permissions for PIS still a+r
5/6. Installing new print queues using SAM or command line (lpadmin) haven???t changed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

If you are interested in the script (I know you have your own printers) it can be found here:

Rick
