Example 4: Configuring the Solaris 2.x print spooler for Sun SPARCstations
In order to perform the following steps you must be a superuser or belong to the
special sysadmin (GID=14) group. If you are using the NIS+ name service, you
may need NIS+ permissions to modify the printer table. Refer to your Sun
documentation for details.
1 Create a directory for print spooling. All application users need read and write
permission for this directory, so you must be a superuser to perform this step. For
example, from the command line of a shell, type:
mkdir /usr/spool/cad
chmod 777 /usr/spool/cad
2 Start the Administration Tool utility (from OpenWindows
t).
% /bin/admintool
3 Load the Printer Manager window, and, from the Add Printer edit menu, select Add
Local Printer .
4 In the Add Local Printer dialog box:
Item Select ...
Printer Name: For example, HP DesignJet 755CM
Printer Type: Other, and set it to Unknown.
File Contents: Any.
Banner: Not required.
For full details on how to use the Printer Manager option of admintool , consult your
Sun documentation.
5 Exit admintool .
6 For serial connections:
a Make sure the printer’s baud rate is 9600 and parity is even.
b From the command line of a shell, as superuser, enter the following:
lpadmin –p pname –o ”stty=’9600 evenp –cstopb ixon ixoff’”
where pname is the same as Printer Name in step 4. It is assumed that /usr/sbin
is in the superuser’s path.
