Tip – For information about printing from Solaris with Linux, refer to your Linux documentation.

Note – If you are trying to print and the network is busy, there might be delays in printing, as well as delays in retrieving printer status and printer queue contents.

Note – SunPCi III 3.2.1 software does not support printing from DOS to a UNIX printer. It is possible to choose that option during the setup process, but it will not function.
