Hi All,


Thanks for your kind response.

The links provided are not mentioning anything about printing from HPUX on a windows client. Any ideas are welcome. Need not be only samba.. I am trying to check lpr printing on windows.(Print Services for UNIX). Any one have the procedure for this OR samba.

Syam

Syum,

Samba Configuration is the same on HP-UX samba client as any other.

Therefore all you need to do is change smb.conf or issue a smbclient or cifsclient command with a user and a password to create print connectivity.

You will most likely need a machine account for the HP-UX system set up on the Windows Primary Domain controller.

SHALOM SEP,


Can you please give me the procedure to make the hpux box to print on the windows printer. I have configured a network printer on the windows machine.

Hi,

I tried configuring lpd printer for hpux.
I gave the follofing command from hpux

#lpstat -t
scheduler is running
system default destination set in default file: DFX
device for DFX: /dev/null
remote to: dfx5000 on 192.168.2.28
DFX accepting requests since Aug 18 13:30
printer DFX now sending DFX-5 to 192.168.2.28. enabled since Aug 18 14:15
fence priority : 0
DFX-5 root priority 0 Aug 18 14:18 on DFX
(standard input) 1326 bytes

After this i gave a print command.

#lpr -d

But it doesnt complete print request instead I get an error :

rlpstat: Connection to 192.168.2.28 is down

But I am ablr to ping to this ip. What could be the problem.

regards,
Syam

Syam,

You will definetely want to take a look at Peter's answer, I know it sound like a lot of reading, but you got to have that configure properly for you to be able to print on the window's printer.

If you want to do it the really easy way, install cups - should be avilable in the HP-porting archives.

Minimal fuss, still uses Smb to connect etc...

Just my 2c.

Shalom Syam,

I'd recommend not running the lp utils at the same time as cups.

CUPS:
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/cups-1.0.2/

This is kind of old and I have doubts it will work with a modern CIFS installation.

I think this doc will be more helpful.

Sorry Syam,

Wrong doc posted before.

It has been a tough week.
