7. Use the Printer Manager in the Admintool utility under Open Windows as
follows:
Select Edit
Select Add
Select Add Access to Remote Printer
At the PrinterName prompt, type any name for the print queue
At the Printer Server prompt, type:
name\!servicename
(for example, MonarchPrinter\!BINARY_P1), where:
name matches the print server name as entered in the host’s table.
servicename is the print service name. For binary graphics files use
the service BINARY_P1; for text files use the service TEXT_P1.
8. Set the Print Server OS to BSD (this is the default setting).
9. Select Add.
10. To print, use the standard lp command; for example:
lp –dMonarchPrinter filename
Notes:
We recommend using the /etc/hosts file for the printer name rather than
NIS or other name services.

Due to a bug in the Sun lpd implementation on Solaris 2.4 and earlier
releases, may cause problems printing very long print jobs. The
workaround is to configure the print server as an HP JetDirect card using
the HP JetAdmin for UNIX software.
Solaris print queues can also be configured from the UNIX shell using the
lpadmin command.
