Solaris

Hi ,

We are trying to add a network printer (HP laser jet ) which is a part of windows server 2003 from solaris 10 server using lpadmin command. Both the Solaris 10 and windows server being in the same domain . The printer details are getting added in the /etc/printers.conf . But we are unable to print a test page from solaris 10(both by GUI and command line). There are no clues for this , even in the log files.

Kindly help us in resolving.

The problem is probably on the windows server side.

You did

Code:

lpadmin -p [printername] -s [server name]

and the printer already existed on the windows side, correct? Are there permissions on the printer queue on the windows server?

Thanks for the post

But with the help of smbclient, We were able to successfully print a file present in the solaris box using the windows printer.Hence we assume there is no permission issue in the windows side. Now the actual problem is we are not able to access the printer (either from GUI or command line), when we add the details of the printer using lpadmin command.

FYI, we used the following command for printing using the smbclient.



/usr/sfw/bin/smbclient "//SERVERNAME/PRINTERNAME" -W WORKGROUP -U USER_NAME
