Remote printing
I'm trying to print from my Solaris server to a Windows Print Server
The Print Server will then pass the print job to a PC connected via dial-up and print it locally.
EG:
Solaris

I've installed Windows services for Unix but still can't get the job which exits Solaris nicely, to appear at the Windows print queue.

xpstartjob
XpStartJob(3Xp) XPRINT FUNCTIONS XpStartJob(3Xp)
NAME
XpStartJob - Indicates the beginning of a single print job.
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lXp [ library... ]
#include <X11/extensions/Print.h>
void XpStartJob ( display, output_mode )
Display *display;
XPSaveData output_mode;
ARGUMENTS
display
Specifies a pointer to the Display structure; returned from XOpenDisplay.
output_mode
Specifies how the printer output data is to be handled.
DESCRIPTION
XpStartJob signals the beginning of a new print job.
If output_mode is XPSpool the X Print Server will automatically spool the printer output. If output_mode is XPGetData, then the X Print
Server buffers the document output for retrieval by XpGetDocumentData. In this case, the print server suspends processing further requests
on this print context until some other client sends XpGetDocumentData. Subsequent operations that use the print context may be suspended at
any time pending the processing of XpGetDocumentData replies to read any buffered output.
XpStartJob sets the job-owner job attribute (included in the XPJobAttr pool) immediately prior to issuing the PrintStartJob request. On
POSIX systems, the job-owner attribute is set using getpwuid_r on the result of getuid. This attribute may be used by the X Print Server to
identify the user to the spooler.
All changes to the XPJobAttr attribute pool (see XpSetAttributes) must be made prior to calling XpStartJob, after which an XPBadSequence
will be generated if changes are attempted, until XpEndJob is called.
For clients selecting XPPrintMask (see XpSelectInput), the event XPPrintNotify will be generated with its detail field set to XPStartJobNo-
tify when the X Print Server has completed the PrintStartJob request.
Conceptually, a "Job" is a collection of "Documents", where each Document is in turn a collection of "Pages". Depending on the print facil-
ities underlying the X Print Server, these delineations may be mapped by a DDX driver into real functionality (e.g. see the server
attribute multiple-documents-supported).
STRUCTURES
The XPSaveData values for output_mode are defined in <X11/extensions/Print.h>. :
#define XPSpool 1 /* Job data sent to spooler */
#define XPGetData 2 /* Job data via XpGetDocumentData */
DIAGNOSTICS
BadValue The value specified for output_mode is not valid.
XPBadContext A valid print context-id has not been set prior to making this call.
XPBadSequence The function was not called in the proper order with respect to the other X Print Service Extension calls (example, XpEndDoc
prior to XpStartDoc).
