Adding a Dummy Printer in HP-UX

1      Dummy Printer:

Configuring a dummy printer, on a system that has no printers configured and process lpsched not running, but Tivoli monitoring checks for a running lpsched process, can help avoid false alerts

lpadmin - configure the LP spooling system

syntax: /usr/sbin/lpadmin -pprinter [options]

-p Names a printer to which all of the options below refer.  If printer does not exist, it will be created

[options]
-mmodel           Selects a model interface program for printer P.
-vdevice          Associates a new device with printer P.

1.1        # lpadmin -pdummy -v/dev/null –mdumb


accept - allow LP printer queuing requests.
The accept command permits the lp command to accept printing requests

1.2        # accept dummy

destination "dummy" now accepting requests

The enable command activates the named printers, enabling them to print requests taken by lp.
# enable dummy

printer "dummy" now enabled

Use lpstat to find the status of printers

1.1        #lpstat -t

scheduler is not running
no system default destination
device for dummy: /dev/null
dummy not accepting requests since Nov 21 05:33 -
        new destination
printer dummy disabled since Nov 21 05:33 -
        new printer
        fence priority : 0
no entries

Use lpsched - start the LP request scheduler.

1.2        # lpsched

scheduler is running

# lpstat -t
scheduler is running ß
no system default destination
device for dummy: /dev/null
dummy accepting requests since Nov 21 05:33 ß
printer dummy is idle.  enabled since Nov 21 05:34 ß
        fence priority : 0
