I'm including printing-discuss since it's probably a better forum for this.
The Window printing model differs from Solaris in that a Windows print server pretty much expects that the client systems will supply printer ready output, so depending on your needs, you might consider creating a local queue on the Solaris box and treating the Windows hosted printer as though it were a "network attached printer". If you have several Solaris clients, you can point them at a single Solaris system that queues their jobs and forwards them to the Windows print server. You can do something similar on Linux. Presumably the Linux system will be using CUPS and network attached printers and remote print queues are configured the same way under CUPS. Under CUPS, you create a local queue for it with a device-uri that is something like lpr://server/queue, ipp://server/printers/queue, socket://printer:9100, ... The Solaris GUI tools (/usr/sbin/printmgr) should make it easier to create the queue under LP The CUPS web interface, system-config-printer, or distro supplied tool should make it easer under CUPS. If you use OpenSolaris, you can use either LP or CUPS. You might also look at http://opensolaris.org/os/community/printing/faq/ for some hints. -Norm Nibal wrote: >> Dear All, >> I have sun Solaris 10 server adding all shared >> printers as LPR on windows client as following >> command >> #lpadmin ?p (printer-name) ?s (ip for Windows PC that >> attached printer) >> Then all Solaris users can print through the server >> and they can use following command to print ( for >> example) >> $ lp -d (printer-name) (file-name to print it) >> my question is how I can enable LPR on Linux users >> because I have also Linux users to let them print >> though the Solaris servers >> For windows I can install lpr for Unix printer >> service, and what about Linux how can I run this >> service >> >> >> Thanks & Best Regards, >>
