Solaris

lpadmin configuration issues on Solaris 10 Zone. I have configured a print queue using lpadmin command to print to print file server.
Source server is a Solaris Zone running Solaris 10.
Destination file print server is running OS AIX 5.3.

I do not get errors when issuing the lp command to send a print request to the system but the administrator of the AIX server is telling me he is not receiving anything, I have double checked the IP, hostname and queue name for the destination, I am able to ping the queue name on port 515 with no issues. I think my issue is with the options I used when setting up the print queue with the lpadmin command. Here is my configuration file

Banner: on
Content types: any
Device: /dev/null
Interface: /usr/lib/lp/model/netstandard
Printer type: unknown
Modules:
Options: dest=sarah.pwgsc.gc.ca:text,protocol=bsd,timeout=line_in_seconds


I have tried different options with TCP instead of BSD in dest and other things. I am not sending my print jobs to a printer directly but to a file print server, so I am not able to use hppi like I usually do.

I also tried using printmgr but not sure on options.

Configuring Print Clients

There are a couple of utilities you can use to create print clients:
1. Admintool -- to be used for Solaris 2.6 and Solaris 7
2. The printmgr utility in Solaris 8 (in /usr/sadm/admin/bin)
However, they both execute the same commands:
# lpadmin -p banana -s server!remote-queueNote that:
banana is the queue you are creating to print to on the client.
server is the machine you are sending the print job to.
remote-queue is the name of the print queue on the machine you are sending the print job to.
If the remote-queue is the same as the queue you are creating on the client then you won't need the !remote-queue part of the command.
