Example 4: Configuring the Solaris 2.x print spooler for Sun SPARCstations

In order to perform the following steps you must be a superuser or belong to the
special sysadmin (GID=14) group. If you are using the NIS+ name service, you
may need NIS+ permissions to modify the printer table. Refer to your Sun
documentation for details.

Create a directory for print spooling. All application users need read and write
permission for this directory, so you must be a superuser to perform this step. For
example, from the command line of a shell, type:

mkdir /usr/spool/cad
chmod 777 /usr/spool/cad

Start the Administration Tool utility (from OpenWindows
