You can also print by specifying the universal naming convention (UNC) name of a network printer that is accessible from the computer. To use a UNC name, you must enclose the printer name in quotes and escape backslashes as appropriate for the shell. For example:

$ lp -d ’\\\\PRTSERVER\\HPLJ5’ file

To avoid problems with UNC names, you can print using a “friendly” name such as:

$ lp -d label-printer file

In this case, the friendly name must be configured by your SGD Administrator.

Printing From Windows Applications

SGD enables you to print from Windows applications to a printer attached to your computer.

Printing from Windows Applications to UNIX, Linux, or Mac OS X Platform Computers

If you print from a Microsoft Windows application to a UNIX, Linux, or Max OS X platform computer, you see the client printers that have been configured by your SGD Administrator.

In the application server’s Print dialog box, the printers on your computer are designated by “Sun SGD” in the printer name, as shown in FIGURE 1-15.
