On my AIX 5.1 system, when I setup a Xerox printer as a local printer, it will not print. &nbsp;However if I setup the Xerox printer as a remote printer it will.<br />
<br />
Usually, after setting up a HP printer as a local printer I go into lsvirprt and enter several parameters loke w=500, Z=!. &nbsp;It will not let me do this for a remote printer queue. &nbsp;Is there a way to do the same thing for a remote printer?<br />
<br />
Also, wonder why I can setup a HP laserjet printer as local and it works fine but the Xerox will not? &nbsp;My system does not have a driver for an HP printer setup.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Questions about setting up a remote printer queue -vs- a local printer queue

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
