Adding, modifying, or copying a network printer

In the Printer Setup Manager, select an existing printer from the list and/or make one of these menu selections:

To:	Select:
Add	PrinterAdd TCP/IP Printer
Modify	PrinterProperties
Copy	PrinterCopy

You can define (or modify) these settings:

Name

The name to call the remote printer on your local system. You cannot change the name of an existing printer.

The SCOadmin Printer Setup Manager does not permit printer names to contain the ``_'' character. To add a printer whose name includes a ``_'', add it from the command-line using lpadmin(1M). For example:

lpadmin -p printer_two

Once the printer name is created, the Printer Setup Manager will be able to manage it.

Make/Model

The printer model (or compatible model) that matches your printer.

Protocol

The spooler type on the remote host: lpd(BSD), the default network printing protocol, or System V (legacy), provided for backwards compatibility with older UNIX systems. For HP printers configured On Network, System V is automatically selected.

Printer Connection Type

If the printer is an ethernet printer (connected to the network itself instead of connected to a computer), select On Network. Otherwise, select On Remote Server.

Remote System

(This field applies only when On Remote Server is selected.) The name of the host that controls the remote printer. Click on Select to choose from a list.

Remote Printer

The name of the remote printer. (When On Network is selected, a Select button appears.)
