I have used a Sun-Ray local USB attached printer in two ways.
Precondition: The printer was using Postscript rendering.
The printer had its own rendering engine.
The printer was *NOT* a dumb windows-driver dependant printer.
1) Printing from Solaris.
Set up a solaris printqueue with
lpadmin -p printername -v " sunray devicename" -I postscript -T PS -m
printermodel
This will use the solaris lpfilter mechanism to convert the printdata to
postcscript protocoll.
2) Printing from Windows.
Set up a solaris printqueue with
lpadmin -p printername -v " sunray devicename" -m printermodel
Set up the windows printer with a working windows Postscript driver.
The windows included hplaserjet-postscript driver works. for a
hplaserjet printer.
or any printer emulating the HPlaserjet like many Xerox printers do,
This setup will generate the Postscript protocol on the windows PC , and
it will merely
"pass-though" the Solaris spooler without change.
So if you need to print from both the SR server and the windows PC you
need to define two spooler queues
for each printer. Below are two scripts that have existed in various
versions on sun-rays.org that I
enhanced a bit and ran from the VDI superstructure to make it do what I
wanted.
For windows printing you then need to pass the printername as an
argument to the "uttsc" startup command.
uttsc ......... -r printer $printername .........
*Scriptet set-printer.sh*
#!/bin/sh
MACAddr=`ls -l $UTDEVROOT | sed 's/.*\.//'`
PrinterName=$MACAddr
PrinterPath=`ls /tmp/SUNWut/units/IEEE802.$MACAddr/dev/printers/*
2>/dev/null|head -1`
if [ -n "$PrinterPath" ] ; then
cat <<.>$HOME/.printers
_default $PrinterName
.
Message="Current Printer: $PrinterName"
else
Message="No printer assigned"
fi
# Add or remove the printer to the Solaris spooler (choose only the
first printer)
if [ -d /etc/lp/printers/$PrinterName ]; then
if [ -z "$PrinterPath" ]; then
pfexec /usr/sbin/lpadmin -x $PrinterName
fi
else
pfexec /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p $PrinterName -v $PrinterPath -A none -o
media=A4 -o banner=never -I postscript -T PS -u allow:all
pfexec /usr/bin/enable $PrinterName
pfexec /usr/sbin/accept $PrinterName
fi

_all SR-Default
Problem:
I can run 'lp -d SR-Default /etc/motd' and see the job via lpstat -t
After a few seconds, I see an error message:
"Failed to open the printer port. (Permission denied)"
>From a uttsc kiosk session connecting to Windows Server 2003, I can see that
the SR-Default print queue has been
passed to Windows. I can create a file with notepad.exe and print to the
SR-Default printer. With lpstat -t, I can see the job arrive
at the Sun Ray server. After about 30 seconds, I see the same error message as
before.
Any suggestions, RTFM's, etc gratefully appreciated. I got this far early this
morning and have made not progress since and I'm out if ideas, patience, etc.
Thanks!
