USER’S GUIDE

Sun Solaris 2.x Configuration
Sun Solaris 2.x uses the lpsystem and lpadmin programs for remote printer
configuration:
lpsystem -t bsd queue
lpadmin -p queue -sprnservername!prnserverservice
accept queue
enable queue
•
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).
•
prnserverservice
is the print server Binary or Text 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
printservername!printserverservice
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.
SCO UNIX Configuration
SCO UNIX requires TCP/IP V1.2 or later to work with Brother print
servers. You must first configure the
/etc/hosts
and
/etc/printcap
files as described in step 2. Then run the sysadmsh program as follows:
- Select Printers.
- Select Configure.
- Select Add.
- Enter the name of the print queue you entered in the
/etc/printcap
file as the Printer name,
- Enter anything as the Comment, and Class name.
-
For the Use printer interface select “Existing”.
