Sun Solaris 2.x configuration

Admintool is normally used to register remote printers on Open

Windows. However, it cannot be used here, as the data recipient

and queue have the same name. The procedure below must be

used for registering a remote printer.

If Solaris 2.x is connected to the remote printer for a long period

according to the system specifications, errors and forced

disconnection may occur. Therefore, if paper tearing, off-line and

other errors result in waiting time, printing may have to be

aborted.

If an incorrect IP address is entered, the network may go down or

other damage may occur. Configure after consulting the network

manager.

The following explanation uses Sun Solaris 2.8 (known as Solaris

8) and an OKI printer as examples. The absolute path and method

of configuring commands may differ in other versions of the OS.

Refer to the workstation manual for more details.

1. Confirm that the IP address of the printer has been set.

2. Log in as [root] to the workstation. If you do not have

superuser rights, the network manager should conduct the

configuration.
