MKLP(1M)
NAME
mklp − configure the LP spooler subsystem
SYNOPSIS
/etc/mklp
REMARKS
This command is implemented as a shell script, and differs for various HP-UX implementations. This description applies to all systems, and further details are found in the commentary of the script itself.
DESCRIPTION
This shell script helps the superuser configure into the LP spooler the printers and plotters that are supported on the particular HP-UX system. Administration of all printers and plotters in the LP spooler subsystem is similar, although available printing or plotting options supported by specific devices vary, depending on the model. These options are described within the mklp script itself.
This command makes it easier to configure the LP spooler as a single operation. If desired, mklp can also be used to rebuild the subsystem.
Mklp should be modified before each use. Command lines for printers that are not being used should be commented out with # to keep them available for later use.
DIAGNOSTICS
Each command line in mklp is echoed as it is executed. Error messages, if any, are generated by the commands invoked.
Since the superuser must modify this script before using it for the first time, mklp returns an error message if it has not been modified.
DEPENDENCIES
Series 300
While the mklp script indicates how the device special files should be defined, the mkdev(1) script should also be used to determine the major and minor number.
AUTHOR
