For Solaris version 2.6 and later, go to “Adding an LPD queue in Solaris” on page 88.
For Solaris 2.5x and older, use the
sol_apps.tar provided with your printer’s
networking software to avoid a Solaris communication problem. The sol_apps.tar file
is also available from the Tektronix ftp site:
ftp.tek.com/cpid/UNIX/sun/sol_apps.tar
This file redirects the print jobs to the printer's AppSocket port (port 9100) instead of
the LPD port (port 515).

accept queuename
where queuename is the name entered for the printer in the /etc/hosts file.
