Configuring a printer without adding a queue (SMIT)

Edit online

You can use SMIT to add a printer or plotter without adding a queue if you do not want to spool print jobs for the printer or plotter.

The printer or plotter must be physically attached to your system before configuring the printer port.

Use the following procedure if you want to add a printer or plotter, but you do not want to spool print jobs.

Note: If you also want to add print queues when you configure your printer, see Initial printer configuration.
  1. At the system prompt, enter: 
    smit pdp
  2. Select Add a Printer/Plotter.
  3. Provide additional information as prompted.
