1 - 10 UNIX PRINTING
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/Fax 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.
