Section 3 | TCP/IP Network Configuration |
Sun Solaris 2.x Configuration
The Sun Solaris 2.x uses the lpsystem and lpadmin programs for remote printer configuration:
lpsystem
lpadmin
accept queue [not required on newer Solaris systems] enable queue [not required on newer Solaris systems]
The queue is the name of the local print queue, troyname is the TROY print server name (must match the entry in the /etc/hosts file) or IP address and troyservice is the TROY print server binary or text service. If this is the first printer configured, you must also use the lpsched command immediately prior to the accept command.
As an alternative, you may use Printer Manager in the admintool utility under OpenWindows. Select Edit, Add, and Add Access to Remote Printer. Then enter the TROY print server name in the format troyname!\troyservice as described above. Make sure that the Printer Server OS is set to BSD (the default setting), and then click on Add.
It is recommend that you use the /etc/hosts file for the printer name rather than NIS or other name services. Also note that due to a bug in the Sun lpd implementation on Solaris 2.4 and earlier releases, you may experience problems printing very long print jobs. If this is the case, a workaround is to use the raw TCP port with the HP JetDirect software as described later in this section.
