When trying to add a printer using SAM, I get stuck at the point
where I have to choose a device driver.  There is none.

Do I have to create it?  How?

I've looked in the man pages and manuals, and I get the impression
that /dev/lp is supposed to already be there.

(Also, I've done this before [previous place of employment],
 and I don't remember it being this complicated.)

I apologize if this has an obvious answer, but I could not find it.

Thanks.

BTW - The machine is a 9000/834 running HP-UX 7.0.
