Adding printer entry into host file

UNIX HP-UX
1

Hi relatively new to unix so sorry if this is a stupid question:

How do i add a printer entry into the host file.

I know how to add the printer using sam, but i am required to add the host file entry into /etc/hosts which i am unaware of how to do.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

could I ask why you would do this?

Remote (associated print-server) or Network (direct IP) printers do not need to be added to your host file.

I believe in keeping host file clean and simple.

Hello,

if necessary edit the host file with vi and add something like

192.168.3.63 zebra_wesn #ZEBRA Labelprinter WE Seriennummern

IP of printer queue_name #comment
