setnetlp(1M)setnetlp(1M)NAMEsetnetlp - configure the LP spooling system for network printers
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/setnetlp
/usr/sbin/setnetlp -p printer [options]
/usr/sbin/setnetlp -x printer
DESCRIPTION
The command configures network printers in the LP spooling systems with
specified printer model interface file. It is used to add and remove
specified printer that is referred as a LP destinations, change config‐
uration of the printer if the printer exists.
Network printers that support lpd protocol or JetDirect interface can
be configured by The command is a shell procedure. It calls lpad‐
min(1M) command for lpd printer configuration. It may also call
addqueue(1) and removequeue(1) commands for configuring printers with
JetDirect interface when the optional software HP JetDirect Printer In‐
staller for Unix is installed on the system.
Exactly one of the -p, -x options or no options must be present for
every legal invocation of
-p printer Names a printer to which all of the options below
refer. If printer does not exist, it will be
created.
-x printer Removes the printer from the LP spooling system.
The printer is a LP destination configured in the
LP spooling system. No other options are allowed
with -x.
The following options are required for -p and can appear in any order.
-orm machine The name of the remote machine or IP address of
the network printer is machine.
-om model This option selects a printer model interface
program for printer. The model is one of the
model file name at /usr/lib/lp/model/* supplied
with the LP software or generated by psmsgen(1M).
Refer to lpadmin(1M) Models for details.
One and only one of the following options is required for -p and can
appear in any order.
-orp rprinter The name of the remote printer queue that has
configured on the remote machine is rprinter.
This option is required to configure lpd printer
and can not be used with -jd option.
-jd When this option is specified, configures the
printer using commands provided by HP JetDi‐
rect Printer Installer for Unix
Interactive terminal user interface (TUI) will be invoked when is
invoked without any options. At the TUI, values of all options
described above can be set. In addition, for some printer model,
defaults of model interface options also can be customized. When
HP JetDirect Printer Installer for Unix is available on the system,
some recommended initial values for options may be provided for some
printer model. The model customization support feature by is available
only for TUI. No customization is performed by non-interactive invoca‐
tion of To customize model options for a printer without the TUI, pre-
customized model file needs to be generated before running for config‐
uring the printer.
EXAMPLES
Assuming a LIPS printer supported lpd protocol on a network as remote
printer host name lphost and remote printer name lipslp the command:
/usr/sbin/setnetlp -p netlp -orm lphost -orp lipslp -om LIPS4
causes the spool system to use the local printer netlp and the local
model file LIPS4.
