Remote printer on vax

<<I need to setup a remote printer on a sparc 10 with solaris 2.3, the

<<with the name of the remote printer (queue) in my case is X30$PRINT,

<<well I can't setup a printer with this name, I've tried to do that

Hi Sun Managers,

Thanks to all of you that answer to my question, specially

to Pedro Roque, that point me the right way to solve the problem,

Solution:

1 - lpadmin -p <local_printer_name> -s <remote_system>!<remote_printer>

my <remote_printer> was "X29$PRINT", so the lpadmin strips out $PRINT

2 - edit the configuration file for the printer "/etc/lp/printers/<ocal_printer_name>/configuration", and change the entry "Remote:"

Ex:

Content types: simple

Printer type: unknown

Remote: <remote_system>!X29$PRINT

dont't forget to add the remote system to the "etc/lp/Systems" file.

after that , "lpstat -t " and the printer is prepared to work..

Thanks to:
