Admintool is normally used to register remote printers on Open 
Windows. However, it cannot be used here, as the data recipient 
and queue have the same name. The procedure below must be 
used for registering a remote printer.

If Solaris 2.x is connected to the remote printer for a long period 
according to the system specifications, errors and forced 
disconnection may occur. Therefore, if paper tearing, off-line and 
other errors result in waiting time, printing may have to be 
aborted.

The following explanation uses Sun Solaris 2.8 (known as 
Solaris 8) and a C7350 printer as examples. The absolute path 
and method of configuring commands may differ in other 
versions of the OS. Refer to the workstation manual for more 
details.

Confirm that the IP address of the printer has been set.

Log in as [root] to the workstation. If you do not have 
superuser rights, the network manager should conduct 
the configuration.

Register the IP address of the network card and the host 
name in /etc/hosts file.

Example: for IP Address 192.168.20.127 and host name 
c7350

Use the ping command to confirm connection with the 
network card.

Example: for host name c7350
