Print que setup on DG/UX R4.20
I am new to Unix.
Would need to setup or modify print que to point to a new Windows 2000 machine on the network.
I am replacing an old machine with new one and just need to instruct Unix how to find it and pass it a print job.
Could anyone help me with steps or doc for this?
This is DG/UX R4.20 box (Data General)
Thank you

They put me in front of this box for the very first time so I am trying to find my way around.
When you say "sysadm" do you mean to log in with admin credentials to the Unix box or something else?
I instaled TCP/IP print service for Unix on the new Win2K Server. Is that the same as LPD printer service?
Thank a lot for your help to get me going.

I was also looking for doc or manual on the Internet, but couldn't find much on Data General support.

Log in as root, and run `sysadm`; It's a text menu system that allows you do most of the configuration on a DG-UX box. It's a while since I touched DG-UX and there's very little documentation outside the EMC/DG website, but http://www.accesseforms.com/support/existing_capture_dgux.asp shows the steps.
Yes, TCP/IP print services is LPD.
If you have a support contract, it's worth signing up on the DG website;If not, try subscribing to the Data General mailing list: majordomo@interlinx.bc.ca, body "subscribe dg-users"

Ok. Great info!
There is one more detail cousing confusion. "Print que"
What is meant by "print que" in the Unix world? Someone said that I will have to set up a print que for this to work?
Any idea why and what is it's funkcionality?
Thanks again.

Great help. Thanks so much.
Great help. Thanks so much.
Use `sysadm` - and follow the menus to add a remote printer; You'll need to supply the print server name and the name of the print queue.
You need LPD printer services running on the W2K system; Search support.microsoft.com for "unix printer" for the details on doing that.
I'll have a dig around for some documentation, but it should be pretty straightforward.
