Add printer with IP address with lpadmin
Hi all,
I'm tryin' to add a network printer with lpadmin (I don't have access to admintool) to a Solarisbox but I don't exactly know where to use the IP address.
The thing is that this printer exists already with another printQ but I don't see any printerserver declared with lpsystem -l although the existing one seems to be controlled that way since lpstat -t shows me a system name.
So ...
Any hints?
Tnx in advance!

Hi - Dummy question #1....
We either use the Hewlett Packard HPPI too or LPADMIN command to setup out printers. Is there an LPADMIN command that will show you the default config of a particular printer.
Ideally looking to see default font, CPI settings etc.
Thanks.
