Use the following procedure if you want to add a printer or plotter, but you do not want to spool print jobs.
Note: If you also want to add print queues when you configure your printer, refer to Initial Printer Configuration .
The printer or plotter must be physically attached to your system before configuring the printer port. See Configuring a Printer Port.

The following describes how to queue a print job using the qprt command, the enq command, the lp command, or the lpr command. The syntax is the same for all three queuing commands, except that the -d flag (instead of the -P flag) should be specified with the lp command:
Command -PQueueName FileName
where:
QueueName | Name of the print queue. |
FileName | Name of the file to be printed. |
The following example demonstrates how to use the qprt command:
qprt -Pfastest myfile
Refer to the individual queuing commands for additional flags that can be specified.
