hi...
hi u.
there is more than 1 way.
-- if you have got a graphic guy (CDE), there is an printer icon (bottom of desktop, 5th, from right side, left of "exit"-button.
-- other methode (graphic) is: type "admintool &". go there to "Printers" in the "Browse" menue.
-- when you know the name of your printer, there are a large
bunch of command (solaris!): lpadmin, lpq, lpstat etc...
best you look to "man lp", and at the bottom of the manpage you find all commands for printers/printing.
hope this helps,
cheers, alex...
