What are the compelling reasons that I should chose cups over lp? PS Thanks for the prompt responses.

I'm dumb. I had a hard time figuring out if apache was installed. It wasn't. "pkg install SUNWapch" (why it's named this and not SUNWapache is beyond me) Engineers in SUN tends to like abbreviations though historical there was a limitation of the length of package name. Now the new max length has been extended to 32 which gives a bit more options. Also It may have also be ended with 'r' to refer to packages to install on root related and 'u; to refer to user as the general recommendeation. However, I think this is going away with IPS. > solved my issues. I guess my next question is how did ipp-listener get installed without this important dependency? Also, how to integrate this with apache2.2. > The problem is that there is limited room on live CD and initial install. ipp-listener is part of the LP print system module, that is why it get pull in, but its dependency on apache can't not be automatically pulled in as that will simply ended up witha live DVD :) If you are going to use ipp, why do you try CUPS? You need SUNWcups, SUNWcups-libs The you can switch by running /usr/sbin/print-service -s cups to switch to cups or /usr/sbin/print-service -s lp to switch to lp. No sure how to do apache2.2, check http://pkg.opensolaris.org is apache is there or not. -Ghee > Thanks. >
