If you mean that you want a simple way to use an existing cups server without changing the stock printing on the Solaris system, then I can describe what I tested. 1. Install SFWcups from a Solaris Companion CD. Versions from 2005 and 2008 worked in my limited testing, but 10_08 does not have cups. 2. cups has changed character set handling (and I don't understand all the issues). We have some versions that don't care, but the target machine does. I changed the file /opt/sfw/cups/lib/locale/en_US/ to have utf-8, but there may be smarter workarounds. Here's the script I tested with acroread (replace ... with your cups server). #!/bin/sh prefix=/opt/sfw/cups LC_ALL=en_US CUPS_SERVER=... PATH=$prefix/bin:$PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$prefix/lib export LC_ALL CUPS_SERVER PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH exec /opt/Adobe/Reader9/bin/acroread "$@" This gives a menu of printers and appears to work, but my testing is limited. As a simpler test, replace the exec line with something like lpstat -p Monitor the cups error log on the cups server when you run the lpstat test. -- Darrel Hankerson _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
