Spoolers are a 2.0a and previous version compatability fix.  You don't need
them if you are strictly a 2.15 shop.  All you need to do is to place the
command P 0 add PRINTQ_0 and p 0 add ADMIN to your autoexec.sys file.  Yo
    I assume your HP is connected to P 0?
    
    There is a good explanation in the syscon portion of the supervisor
    reference.  It is through syscon that you modify the print queues.
