CHAPTER 1 UNIX PRINTING 

1-9

 

 
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  

(not required on newer Solaris systems) 

enable queue 

(not required on newer Solaris systems) 

 
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.
