Apple Setup print environment in Solaris 11
Hi Experts,

Please help me on this.
I've a print environment using NIS in Solaris 10.

Recently we have new JDE environment which using Solaris 11 OS, and found that we can't use NIS anymore. So only the option is using CUPS.

How do we integrate this print environment for both Solaris 10 and 11.SmilieSmilie
Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Srigias,

You should be able to set this up as a remote printer queue on Solaris 11, check that you have the latest version of the CUPS package and then you should be able to use the "lpadmin" command to set up the queue.

For a detailed explanation of the command use the man command;

Code:
man lpadmin

Regards

Dave

Hi,

You should be able to do that, you have two ways of doing this - either set the printers up locally on the Solaris 11 box or set as a a remote printer queue - in that case it will use all the drivers from the Solaris 10 server.

Hi Dave,

I've setup a local printer on solaris 11 box.
Most of the printers are working fine. But some printers are printing weird like printing in Code, blockboxes in the middle of the paper.

Can we say that this was due to driver issue? If it is the case, solaris 10 having same printer driver.

Thanks,
Sri

Hi Srigias,

You'll have to be a little more specific, can you advise what type of printer that you have working and what type not working?

Regards

Hi Dave,

We are having 50+ printers in the environment. Among them less than 5 printers are not printing properly. Lets say the printer HP Color LaserJet CP2025. I've copied same ppd file from solaris 10 box to solaris 11 box. But having issues like printing in code etc.

Thanks,
Sri
