How to connect a HP printer to Sun Sol 8?
How can i connect a HP laserjet printer directly to Sun Solaris 8 without setting it up as network printer?

i'm a total newbie to Sun systems and i dont quite get how to properly set up a printer on that platform...

I do get this message when i plug in the USB printer:
----------
usb-device: printer@2, usbprn0 at bus address 2
HP, HP LaserJet 1022n, JN028YG
usbprn0 is /pci@1f,0/usb@c,3/printer@2
----------

Thanks in advance.

Which print system do you use? Is it already CUPS? Does this printer 'speak' Postscript directly?

It does Postscript. I'm not quite so sure about "CUPS" part, but i know I can get this printer to work in LINUX by using one of the opensource postscripts. I hope this is clearer.
