We are looking at integrating CUPS into Solaris as a choice for printing. This really means CUPS, new attendant add-on packages, and enabling CUPS support in some existing packages that we ship. 1. We will ship packaging for both LP and CUPS. 2. You will be able to install LP, CUPS, or

I wouldn't expect you to get garbage when you print from FireFox to your printer. It sounds like the wrong PPD file was associated with the queue for your printer. What kind of printer do you have? How is the queue configured? If it's Parallel or USB attached # /usr/lib/lp/bin/printer-in

It sounds like it might be trying to contact a remote print server. Do you have any remote queues configured in /etc/printers.conf or ~/.printers ? You might try turning on 'lpr.debug' in the syslog and looking at the log, though I don't recall that there is a whole lot of logging in the commands.

Is it possible that this isn't what your snv_64b configuration looked like? It looks like this was configured for you by Presto. Did you get a popup asking you to add a queue when you first logged in? The PPD file that you have configured doesn't appear to have any options for Duplex printing

The behavior you are seeing sounds like a bug in lpsched, but I don't know that I have enough information to be certain. You might turn on the syslogd(1m) lpr.debug logging and take a look at it. lpsched and some of the interface scripts log several key events and bits of information that shoul

As long as the print server is offering rfc1179 service for the named queues, it shouldn't matter what it's running (more or less, non-bsd-ish/non-svr4-ish query output would be a problem). The fact that you aren't getting any messages after disabling lpsched is disturbing. lpstat -p should
