Summary :
SAP Note details configuration interactions between UNIX systems and network printers, predominantly managed via access methods 'L' and 'U'. It underscores the imperative of listing the print server's hostname or network printer's address in the UNIX `/etc/hosts` file to ensure seamless service utilization. Additionally, specified entries in `/etc/inetd` and `/etc/services` are essential for the proper function of network printing services. For HP systems, a series of commands like `usr/lib/lpadmin` help define and manage printers. For AIX, the print system revolves around the queue management via `/usr/sbin/qdaemon`, and adjustments in `/etc/qconfig` are crucial for remote printer setups. Modifications are typically accompanied by daemon restarts to propagate changes effectively.
