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.
I am administering this remotely (long remote, I can't go there soon) and can't run smc or admintool.
Any help configuring this spooler would be appreciated. (1 Reply)
