Configuring
the LP Spooler |
 |
The HPUXExtns-<lang> bundles provide many kinds of LP model files that can
be configured by sam(1m). To add, delete and maintain Asian printers with the
model files in /usr/lib/lp/model, refer to the volume of the HP-UX
System Administrator's Guide called, Routine Management
Tasks.
To configure printers with the HP JetDirect Interfaces, you
must install the HP JetDirect Printer Installer for Unix, which
is available on the CD-ROM included with the printer hardware. You
can also download it from www.hp.com.
To configure network printers, HP recommends that you use
the setnetlp(1m)tool. Invoking this tool without any argument causes it
to run in an interactive mode; whereas specific options in different
printer model files can be customized to the need and capability
of the printers.
HP recommends that you configure the default locale defined
in the model files. The printing interface of some applications
may not have the ability to specify additional command line options
like the locale value. In this case, printing will only work if
the default locale defined in the model files are the same as the
locales used by the applications. For more information, please refer
to manpages, lp(1) and lpadmin(1m).

To print Asian text on the printer, you may need to specify
the locale value for the lp command along with the text file. For example,
lp -oja_JP.eucJP text_file_written_in_Japanese_euc
The following table shows the supported locales in HP-UX 11i

The printer model files support a wide variety of options,
such as font selection and page control. Consult the model file
which is installed in /usr/lib/lp/model for more details.
Typically, the following model files are used for Asian printers:
