Theinformation that you provide through this command will be used to create a shellscript. The shell script will be used by lpadmin to actually create the print queue.The lpshut command shuts down lpsched (i.e., line printer scheduler). You mustrun this command prior to running lpadmin. If you do not shut-down the line printscheduler, the lpadmin process will not work. However, once the lpadmincommand process completes, the lpsched command must be reinstated.Instructions on how to accomplish each of the above tasks are defined in the followingsections.Adding Printer Model Information Using the make_modelCommand1.
