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

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”.

- Press the F3 key to get a list of available interface, and select the desired one as the

Name of interface using the cursor keys (“Dumb” is a good choice).

- Select “Direct” as the Connection.

- Enter the desired Device name (

/dev/lp

generally works).

- Select "Hardwired" as the Device.

- Select "No" for the Require banner field.
