Using lp with Solaris 2.6

Sun Microsystems has discontinued support for the System V
Print Protocol in Solaris 2.6. In order to use the lp utilities to print
to the DocuSP controller running Solaris 2.6, perform the
following procedures, depending upon the level of Solaris on the
client workstation.

On a Solaris 2.6 client

The –o options are ignored when using lp on a Solaris 2.6 client
to submit jobs to the controller. To correct this, perform the
following at the client workstation:

1. Open a terminal window and log on as root.

2. Enter the following:

lpset -a bsdaddr=,name>,Solaris

NOTE: Syntax is critical. There are spaces after the –a and
after Solaris; there are not spaces after the commas.

3. If root access is unavailable on the client, modify the .printers

file in the home directory. Enter the following:

:Name>:Solaris

NOTE: There is a space between and Controller Name>.

4. If the .printers file does not exist on the client workstation,

create one by typing the following in a terminal window:

vi .printers
:Name>:Solaris
:wq!
