Printer Error with Admintool
Hi
I have a unix box [ Solaris 2.5.1 , sparc staion 5_10 )
I could successfully configure a LOCAL printer using
lpadmin -p XX -v /dev/term/a
But when I tried to do local printer configuration with admintool, ( as root user ) it throws up error. " add printer failed ".
Also when I tried to modify the printer configured using lpadmin,
it throws "get printer failed".
However the printer works fine with
lp -d XX commands.
Can somebody throw some light on why is this happening ?
( The admintool allows me to configure new users without any problem . )/
Thanks..

Jetadmin fails saying that it is not a network printer despite the fact that it is and can be pinged from UNIX.

lpc(8) Apple Inc. lpc(8)
NAME
lpc - line printer control program
SYNOPSIS
lpc [ command [ parameter(s) ] ]
DESCRIPTION
lpc provides limited control over printer and class queues provided by CUPS. It can also be used to query the state of queues.
If no command is specified on the command-line, lpc will display a prompt and accept commands from the standard input.
COMMANDS
The lpc program accepts a subset of commands accepted by the Berkeley lpc program of the same name:
exit
Exits the command interpreter.
help [command]
? [command]
Displays a short help message.
quit
Exits the command interpreter.
status [queue]
Displays the status of one or more printer or class queues.
LIMITATIONS
Since lpc is geared towards the Berkeley printing system, it is impossible to use lpc to configure printer or class queues provided by
CUPS. To configure printer or class queues you must use the lpadmin(8) command or another CUPS-compatible client with that functionality.
COMPATIBILITY
The CUPS version of lpc does not implement all of the standard Berkeley or LPRng commands.
