SETTING UP WORKSTATIONS

Solaris

The following instructions are specific to the operation of Solaris lp for submission to DocuPrint NPS. Submission using lp on the DocuPrint controller is NOT supported!

Note: The printer controller’s Sun operating system is based on the standard Sun operating system; however, it has been customized for use with the Xerox printer controller. Therefore, not all standard Sun operating system features are available.

While the instructions for editing the /etc/printcap file are generic for SunOS 4.x UNIX systems using lpr, the systems that use lp operate differently on each UNIX platform. Solaris administrators should consult their man pages or the Solaris Answerbook for more information on the commands used below. Solaris Admintool is NOT recommended, because the “remote system type” option is not supported.

At the client, login as root (except lpstat).
