Remote Dial-up Modem Printing With Out Cpu On The Remote Side!
I am looking for a dial-up remote printing solution as under :

1. We have a Centralized location where Sun Solaris (A) is installed. From here printing command will be despatched.

2. This printing command will be routed to WAN cloud to Main Branches (B1,B2,B3)and from there, printer at Remote End (C1,C2,C3).

3. Here we want to use Dial-up solution from B1,B2 to C1,c2..., and printer should be accssed without CPU support.

4. a. How we can enable printer just with Dial-up modems?
b. How printer can be (serial or prallel port Dot Matrix Printers) interfaced with modem directly?


This is link we got from the web.. and unable to understand the concept.. Will this help us insolving the issue or with some other options there?

Configuring an UUCP dialup printer

``UUCP dialup printer'' is a printer that connects directly to a system through a dialup modem using UUCP to queue jobs on the remote system. For more information on UUCP, see ``Connecting to other computers with UUCP''.

To configure a dialup printer:


Set up your modem and verify that it works with cu(C). See ``Adding modems''.
Because cu accesses printers in the same way the print service does, set up the files as though preparing access to the printer for cu. The cu command is not used to access printers; however, if cu can access a printer, the print service can access it, too.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAUTION: The entry you use for the dialup configuration in the /usr/lib/uucp/Devices file should use a Dialers entry rather than a dialer binary.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Add the following line to /etc/default/lpd:
DIALUPPRINTER=YES


Enter the following:

/usr/lib/lpadmin -p printer_name -m dumb -U phone_number -h -A mail
This command sets up printer_name as the dialup printer; phone_number is the phone number for the remote system.


Set up the printer to accept jobs, and then enable the printer. See ``Accepting or rejecting print jobs'' and ``Enabling and disabling printers''.

Test the printer by submitting a job:

lp -d printer_name filename

If the printer or port is busy, the print service automatically tries again. If the printer is busy, the retry rate is once every 10 minutes; if the port is busy, the retry rate is once every 20 minutes. The retry rates are not adjustable; however, you can force an immediate retry by enabling the printer. If the port or printer is likely to be busy for an extended period, disable the printer.

If an attempt to reach the dialup printer fails, lpstat -p reports the reason for a failed dial attempt. If you have set up fault alerting, the fault alert message reports the reason for the fault, see ``Setting up printer fault alerts''. These messages are identical to the error messages produced by the UUCP system for similar problems, see ``UUCP STATUS error messages''.

disable

enable(1)                                                          User Commands                                                         enable(1)

NAME

       enable, disable - enable/disable LP printers

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/bin/enable printer...

       /usr/bin/disable [-c | -W]  [ -r [reason]] printer...

DESCRIPTION

       The  enable  command  activates  printers,  enabling  them to print requests submitted by the lp command. enable must be run on the printer
       server.

       The disable command deactivates printers, disabling them from printing requests submitted by the lp command. By default, any requests  that
       are  currently  printing  on printer will be reprinted in their entirety either on printer or another member of the same class of printers.
       The disable command must be run on the print server.

       Use lpstat -p to check the status of printers.

       enable and disable only effect queueing on the print server's spooling system. Executing these commands from a client system will  have  no
       effect on the server.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported for use with disable:

       -c              Cancels  any requests that are currently printing on printer. This option cannot be used with the -W option. If the printer
                       is remote, the -c option will be silently ignored.

       -W              Waits until the request currently being printed is finished before disabling printer. This option cannot be used  with  the
                       -c option. If the printer is remote, the -W option will be silently ignored.

       -r [reason]     Assigns  a  reason  for  the  disabling  of  the  printer(s). This reason applies to all printers specified. This reason is
                       reported by lpstat -p. Enclose reason in quotes if it contains blanks. The default  reason  is  "unknown  reason"  for  the
                       existing printer, and "new printer" for a printer added to the system but not yet enabled.

OPERANDS

       The following operand is supported for both enable and disable:

       printer         The  name of the printer to be enabled or disabled. Specify printer using atomic name. See printers.conf(4) for information
                       regarding the naming conventions for atomic names.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0               Successful completion.

       non-zero        An error occurred.

FILES

       /var/spool/lp/*         LP print queue.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE         |      ATTRIBUTE VALUE        |
