1 - 10 UNIX PRINTING

If this is the first printer configured, you must also use the

lpsched

command 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 Print/Fax server name in the format

prnservername!\prnserverservice

as described above.

Make sure that the printer server OS is set to BSD (the default
setting), and click Add.

Note that we 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 software
as described later in this chapter.
