<p>The following are a set of suggestions and recommendations
for specific systems.</p>
<div class="SECT1">
<h1 class="SECT1"><a name="SOLARIS">3.1. Solaris</a></h1>
<p>The Sun Microsystems Solaris printing system is derived
from the System V UNIX system. Please see the <a href=
"update.htm#SOLARISINSTALL">Solaris, HP, and SysVR4 Derived
Systems</a> installation information for a detailed
description of how to install <b class=
"APPLICATION">LPRng</b> and remove the Solaris Print
Services.</p>
<p>If you want to simply forward jobs from a Solaris system
to a BSD print spooling system you can use the following
commands to create a printer. Check your specific system
references and man pages for options:</p>
<div class="INFORMALEXAMPLE">
<a name="AEN1496"></a>
<pre class="SCREEN">
<samp class="PROMPT">h4: {67} #</samp> <kbd class=
"USERINPUT">lpsystem -t bsd servername</kbd> # add server
<samp class="PROMPT">h4: {68} #</samp> <kbd class=
"USERINPUT">lpadmin -p pr -s servername -T unknown -I any</kbd> # set up printer
<samp class="PROMPT">h4: {69} #</samp> <kbd class=
"USERINPUT">accept pr</kbd> # enable queueing
<samp class="PROMPT">h4: {70} #</samp> <kbd class=
"USERINPUT">enable pr</kbd> # enable printing
<samp class="PROMPT">h4: {71} #</samp> <kbd class=
"USERINPUT">lpstat -t</kbd> # show status
scheduler is running
system for pr: servername
lp accepting requests since Mon Aug 6 12:00:00 PST 2000

</pre>
</div>
<br>
<br>
<p>The above commands will create the necessary directories
and files for the printer. If you want to use the <var
class="LITERAL">lp -o option</var> syntax to pass options
to the LPRng print spooler you will have to enable this by
hand. The <tt class="FILENAME">/etc/printers.conf</tt>
(this may be in some other directory besides <tt class=
"FILENAME">/etc</tt>) needs to be modified so that it
allows options to be passed using the Solaris convention,
which is to put them on the <var class="LITERAL">S</var> or
<var class="LITERAL">O</var> line of the control file. For
example:</p>
<div class="INFORMALEXAMPLE">
<a name="AEN1514"></a>
<pre class="SCREEN">
#
# The preferred method of modifying this file is through the use of
# lpset(1M) or fncreate_printer(1M)
#
pr:bsdaddr=servername,pr,Solaris:
_default:use=pr:
</pre>
</div>
<br>
<br>
<p>The <var class=
"LITERAL">bsdaddr=host,printer[,Solaris]</var> indicates
that the entry is for a remote RFC1179 printer on server
<var class="LITERAL">host</var> with name <var class=
"LITERAL">printer</var>. The <var class=
"LITERAL">Solaris</var> option indicates that the Solars
extensions to the RFC1179 protocol are to be used.</p>
