Hi Feroz -
Two possible things to try
1. use /usr/sbin/printmgr
it will set some things for you
to see what it is doing, select "Show command line console"
under "PrintManager" on the top screen. This will give you the lpadmin
commands that were used to configure the printer.
Note that the printmgr also does the accept/enable also.
OR
2. add input type to postscript
lpadmin -p <foobar> -I postscript
note: when using tcp it's a good idea to add the port number to the dest.
-o dest=<IP address or machinename>:9100
Not all versions of Solaris will add this for you.
Let me know if this fixes your problems.
