My co-worker / sysadmin guy has been sick for months and while I have had some HPUX training, that was years ago. So I'm very rusty. My sysadmin guy left me with some instructions about adding a printer. They are as follows.
Our printers are listed in sam as type being remote, so I assume they are remote printers and not local printers.
1. Edit /etc/hosts file by inserting ip address and name of new print server.
2. Turn off spooler
3. Use SAM to add an entry to the spooler associating the local (I think he means remote but his instructions say local) UNIX printer with remote print server.
4. Restart the spooler.
5. Create new device in BaaN. I have plenty of examples.

Does this make sense?

Hello,
if adding the remote printers via SAM you don't need to stop and start the spooler if your're sure that nobody prints at this time, SAM does this by itself (Message Warning, the spooler will .......).

The steps are right.

1. Add IP in /etc/hosts (Not always needed, if UX-Host and printer are in same subnet, and ....), try with ping !
2. Stop spooler (if needed)
3. SAM -> printers and plotters .... -> Add remote printer
(if spooler is running, SAM restarts the spooler)
4. Start spooler (if needed)
5. Continue with BaaN settings

But ther are many ways directing to Rome ;-)

Thank you.
