Then use the

in the

utility under Open Windows

as follows:

◗ Select

Edit

◗ Select

Add

◗ Select

Add Access to Remote Printer

◗ At the

PrinterName

prompt, type any desired name for the print queue

◗ At the

Printer Server

prompt, type:

name\!servicename

(for example,

LaserJet\!BINARY_P1

), where:

-

name matches the print server name as entered in the hosts table.

-

servicename is the print service name. For binary graphics files use the ser-
vice

BINARY_P1

; for text files use the service

TEXT_P1.

◗ Make sure that the

Print Server OS

is set to

BSD

(this is the default setting).

◗ Select

Add

◗ To print, use the standard lp command; for example:

lp –dLaserJet filename

Notes:

We recommend using the /etc/hosts file for the printer name rather than NIS

or other name services.

Due to a bug in the Sun lpd implementation on Solaris 2.4 and earlier

releases, may cause problems printing very long print jobs. The workaround
is to configure the EtherWind as an HP JetDirect card using the HP
JetAdmin for UNIX software.

Solaris print queues can also be configured from the UNIX shell using the

lpadmin command.
