Sun Solaris 2.X Configuration - Brother HL-1870n Network User's Manual

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
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 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.
