USER’S GUIDE

Sun Solaris 2.x Configuration

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

lpsystem -t bsd queue
lpadmin -p queue -sprnservername!prnserverservice
accept queue

enable queue

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).

prnserverservice

is the print server Binary or Text 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

printservername!printserverservice

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.

SCO UNIX Configuration

SCO UNIX requires TCP/IP V1.2 or later to work with Brother print
servers. You must first configure the

/etc/hosts

and

/etc/printcap

files as described in step 2. Then run the sysadmsh program as follows:

- Select Printers.
- Select Configure.
- Select Add.
- Enter the name of the print queue you entered in the

/etc/printcap

file as the Printer name,

- Enter anything as the Comment, and Class name.

-

For the Use printer interface select “Existing”.
