can't lpr -S hostname in HP/UX 11.11

[jerryk]

Hello,

We're an HPUX shop, and I want to print to a bunch of printers on a windows2000 (tcp print service enabled) box.

In Linux (BSD Style) it's easy:
lpr -S hostname -P sharename filename

But I have 2 problems:
There is no lpr in hpux

It looks like hpux wants me to set up all my windows printers as local "remote" printers, and then print with lp. This redundancy of printer setups is unacceptable, because the number of printers and windows servers is very dynamic (and large).


Is there any way to print on the fly to a remote printer in hpux?

as a second option, can I get lpr recompiled for hpux?

Many many thanks for any thoughts you can offer.

Jerry

Don't have much experience with HP-UX, but have you considered installing Samba on your HP9000 server. This would provide great integration with your Win2K printing environment. Just a thought
