Update:Printing under 2.5.1 and CDE

2007-12-25 11:36:00

The concensus was unanimous that the admintool was the easiest means

to configure a remote printer. The lpsystem and lpadmin commands can

be used as well. I have used both to test the installation only to

find that there is still a communications error from the SPARC to the

BSD host of the remote print Q.

Thanks to those below who responded so quickly:

SUMMARY: To add a remote printer

>From admintool (/usr/bin/admintool) select edit,add, remote, fill out

the host and printQ and voila its done.

lpsystem <remote host name> # refer to the man page on this

lpadmin -p <printer name> -s <remote host name> -T <unknown> -I <any>

-D <"description">

lpadmin -d <printer name> # to set as your default printer

Also pmadm can be used to verify the port monitor setup for the socket

and service.

Having done all this I still have been unsucessful in sending a job

from the SPARC to the Digital UNIX host (BSD). Does anyone have an

idea as to what is holding up the communications ? How is the

universal system address used in the pmadm command. Should the local

or remote sytem be listed here for the tcp listen service?

Thanks again for the quick responses.
