    The server is running financial application which we have to print a report every evening.

    Printer Queue Creation

    Verify if Printer IP address can be ping
    ping <Printer IP address> from system
    define IP Address on /etc/hosts

    Create Print Queue
    /usr/lib/lpd/pio/etc/piomisc_ext mkpq_remote_ext -q <queue name> -h <hostname> -r <queue name> -t 'aix' -T '300' -C 'FALSE' -d <queue name>

    /usr/bin/chque -q <queue name> -a"s_statfilter = "'/usr/lib/lpd/bsdshort' -a"l_statfilter = "'/usr/lib/lpd/bsdlong'

    Start Usage of Print Queue
