Printing files to a remote system
If you have a local printer attached to your host, then the following procedures refer to printing to a remote printer. If you have no local printer, then the following procedures refers to printing to a nondefault remote printer.
- Your host name must appear in the /etc/hosts.lpd file
of the remote host.Note: The queuing system does not support multibyte host names.
To implement changes to the /etc/hosts.lpd file without restarting the system, use the System Resource Controller (SRC) refresh command.
- You must be able to determine the queue name and the remote printer name in your local /usr/lib/lpd/qconfig file
You can use either the enq command or the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) to complete this task.
Note: This section explains how to print to a remote host at the simplest level possible. For more information and ideas about remote printing, see enq command.
