Printing, NT Environment, UNIX Machine
I have a UNIX client that I can see on my neighborhood network via samba. I can share to it and everything, but I can't print from the UNIX client. I am running Sun Solaris9, but there are several things that could be wrong. My UNIX client is not a valid member of the domain that all the rest of my office is on, so that could be a problem. Second, it's an NT network obtaining IP from a DHCP server (the reason why my UNIX machine gets its network name of "unknown"). I am not sure if it's a domain thing or what, but I would like to be able to print from my UNIX box to our network printers. What do I have to do? I have some admin books, but nothing seems to describe this mixed environment and when they do, the UNIX machine is the print server and not a network client. Any thoughts or known web resources for my scenario?


--thanks--AJ

lppasswd

lppasswd(1)						      Easy Software Products						       lppasswd(1)

NAME

       lppasswd - add, change, or delete digest passwords.

SYNOPSIS

       lppasswd [ -a ] [ -g groupname ] [ -x ] [ username ]

DESCRIPTION

       lppasswd  adds, changes, or deletes passwords in the CUPS digest password file, passwd.md5. When run by a normal user, lppasswd will prompt
       for the old and new passwords. When run by the super-user, lppasswd can add new accounts (-a username),	change	existing  accounts  (user-
       name),  or  delete accounts (-x username) in the digest password file. Digest usernames do not have to match local UNIX usernames, but only
       UNIX usernames are supported by the CUPS client programs (lp(1), lpr(1), etc.)

       The -g option specifies a group other than the system group - "sys", "system", or "root", depending on the operating system.

SECURITY ISSUES

       The lppasswd command is installed setuid to root. While every attempt has been made to make it secure against  exploits	that  could  grant
       super-user priviledges to unpriviledged users, paranoid system administrators may wish to disable or change the ownership of the program to
       an unpriviledged account.
