Sun Solaris 2.x Configuration

Sun Solaris 2.x uses the lpsystem and lpadmin programs for remote
printer configuration:

lpsystem -t bsd prnservername
lpadmin -p queue -s prnservername!prnserverservice
accept queue

(not required on newer Solaris systems)

enable queue

(not required on newer Solaris systems)

Where

queue

is the name of the local print queue.

prnservername

is the name of the print server (must match the

entry in the

/etc/hosts

file or IP address).

prnserverservice

is the print server BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1

service.

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 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.
