You need to set the lp configuration so that it will PASS
the options in the /etc/printers.conf file.
The above commands will create the necessary directories and files
for the printer. If you want to use the lp -o option
syntax to pass options to the LPRng print spooler you will have to
enable this by hand.
The /etc/printers.conf (this may be in some other directory besides
/etc>) needs to be modified so that it allows options to be passed
using the Solaris convention, which is to put them on the S or O
line of the control file.
For example:
#
# 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:
The bsdaddr=host,printer[,Solaris] indicates that the entry is for
a remote RFC1179 printer on server host with name printer. The
Solaris option indicates that the Solars extensions to the RFC1179
protocol are to be used.
