Environment Variables
To set environment variables, edit the file that contains them. See
"Defining a Default Logical Printer" in Chapter 2 for instructions on
modifying your .profile file (if you are using the POSIX or Korn shell)
or your .login file (if you are using the C shell).
Table 3-8, "Environment Variables," describes the environment variables
that affect how HPDPS commands are processed. For more detailed
information on those environment variables used primarily by the
administrator, see the HP Distributed Print Service Administration
Guide.
