Use "bash" for your shell. Only network printers are supported.
$ export PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/sfw/bin:/opt/sfw/bin
[ Load CD Solaris_Software_Companion]
$ cd /media/S10_807_SOFTWARE_COMPANION/Solaris_Software_Companion/Solaris_i386/Packages
$ su root -c "/usr/bin/bash"
# pkgadd -d `pwd` SFWgroff
# pkgadd -d `pwd` SFWgawk
$ wget -O foo2zjs.tar.gz
$ tar zxf foo2zjs.tar.gz
$ cd foo2zjs
$ gmake
$ ./getweb 2530OR other printer
$ su root -c "/usr/bin/bash"
# gmake install
# printmgr
