Adding a printer

[KimiSue]

While I know sql, I haven't worked with Oracle in about 11 years. All I need to do is add a printer to the current setup. Any ideas of how to do this through the sql? Thanks!

I've never seen where you add the printer through SQL or Oracle. I thought you added the printer through the operating system (Unix, NT, etc). What operating system are you using? Terry M. Hoey

We're using a custom program that utilizes Oracle. The program doesn't look at the printers installed through NT, so they must be inserted directly, using the sql plus part of Oracle. Glad I'm not the only one that's never heard of this!

Is there possibly a table in the database that the hardware is assigned in? Maybe it is given a name and an IP address?

This sounds like something that's actually done via your custom program - if you're supposed to do it via SQL, then there's most likely one or more tables added by the custom program and that's where you'll need to go for your answer. This is not (to my knowledge) any function of Oracle!
