Solaris UNIX Printer Setup
I have a HP laserjet 5Si MX on a Microsoft network that I need to route my print output to. I have setup a host that amounts to just the ip address of the printer, and created a printer that is connected to that host. My print is sent directly to the printer, but it is not formatted correctly. Nowhere during the setup process am I allowed to select a driver for the printer that I am setting up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

papstatus
PAPSTATUS(8) System Manager's Manual PAPSTATUS(8)
NAME
papstatus - get the status of an AppleTalk-connected printer
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/papstatus [ -d ] [ -p printer ] [ retrytime ]
DESCRIPTION
papstatus is used to obtain the current status message from an AppleTalk connected printer. It uses the Printer Access Protocol (PAP) to
obtain the status information.
If no printer is specified on the command line, papstatus looks for a file called .paprc in the current directory and reads it to obtain
the name of a printer. The .paprc file should contain a single line of the form object:type@zone where each of object, :type, and @zone
are optional. type and zone must be proceeded by `:' and `@' respectively. Blank lines and lines the begin with a `#' are ignored. type
and zone default to LaserWriter and the zone of the local host, respectively.
OPTIONS
-d Turns on a debugging mode that prints some extra information to standard error.
-p printer
Get status from printer (do not consult any .paprc files to find a printer name). The syntax for printer is the same as discussed
above for the .paprc file.
retrytime
Normally, papstatus only gets the status from the printer once. If retrytime is specified, the status is obtained repeatedly, with
a sleep of retrytime seconds between inquiring the printer.
FILES
.paprc file that contains printer name
