Adding Remote Printers on Solaris 2 Systems

Introduction / Philosophy

You can use sam, but for speed and especially in remsh wrapper scripts doing the same action to multiple systems, manually installing printers is a lot easier.

Note there is a script for adding a large number of printers to large number of hosts. It is located at:

host: te16
directory: /root/bin
file: install_some_printers_on_some_hosts

Procedure

The command sequence is given below:

# lpadmin -p <local_and_remote_printer_name> -I any -s <printer_server>

If the system doesn't recognise the name of the printer server, then enter the command:

# lpsystem -t bsd <printer_server>

and then continue with:

# accept <local_printer_name> # enable <local_printer_name>
