If you have problems using the install script, do the following
procedure to use lpd support from Solaris-based System V UNIX
systems. These steps are similar for other System V systems.
IMPORTANT: Before you perform any network setup procedures,
make sure that all recommended print patches have
been installed from the OS patch CD-ROM.
Using the command line method
Do as follows to use the command-line method to run the
installation script.
1. In the /etc/hosts file, add an entry similar to the following to
correlate the IP Address of the printer to the printer’s name:
syntax: <IP Address> <printer name>
example: 192.185.2.3 DS8650PS
2. Enter the following command to shut down the printer
subsystem:
/usr/lib/lpshut
3. Add the following line to the /etc/lp/Systems file:
<host printer name>:x:-:bsd:-:n:10:-:-:
4. Enter the following command to add a new printer:
IMPORTANT: Do not enter any returns in the following command.
/usr/lib/lpadmin -p<printer name> -s<host printername>
\!ps -I postscript
NOTE:The <Printer name> can be anything you want to call your
printer. It can be the same as <host printer name>. However,
doing this makes the corresponding printer name
associations more confusing.
