GL-1010 Administrator’s Guide 141
MANAGING UNIX PRINT QUEUES
Considerations and Limitations
n Only a system administrator with root privileges can create a
print queue.
Prerequisites
n Locate the GL-1010’s IP address if you will be accessing the
device by entering its IP Address.
n Alternately, add the device host name to the /etc/hosts file
using either the
admintool command for Solaris or IBM
AIX, or the
sam command for HP-UX.
Unix Queue Setup
Creating a Print Queue
1 Log on to the root account.
2 Enter the following command:
gl1010add <queue name> <host name or IP
address>
This command creates a print queue using the system’s
lpadmin command. Additionally, it creates a configuration
file that has the destination IP address or host name. You can
use the configuration file to change the default print queue
parameters.
The
lpadmin command stores the printer interface file in the
/etc/lp/interfaces directory in a file with the same
name as the print queue. The configuration file is stored in
the
/etc/lp/interfaces directory in a file named
<queue name>.conf.
