How to install a LPR Printer under Solaris 10 01/06

Hi,
I just installed Solaris 10 01/06 2 days ago and so far I'm pretty impressed, really a nice system!
I have one problem, though:
I have a Kyocera FS-1010 printer in my office which is connected to a CNet Printserver.
I'm able to print from other Linux and *BSD boxes to this printer by using CUPS and adding the Printer as a LPR Printqueue.
My question is: Is there a way to do the same under Solaris? As far as I know, Solaris doesn't use CUPS as the default printing system, unlike OSX for example.
Thanks in advance,
Dominik

Is there any reason you haven't ftp'd and then configued cups on Solaris?

How to install a network print on solaris 10

How to install a network print on solaris 10?
Thank You!

Thank you Zettabyte!!
Folks, network printers should NOT BE configured like this:
lpadmin -p somequeue -s someprinter
that creates a remote style queue and puts all the I/O and processing capability on the basic LPD listener present on network printer interfaces. This will cause problems down the road, not to mention that you cannot control access, get any logging, filter content, or control banner pages.
Network printers should use any software (or PPD file) supplied by the vendor over the basic lpadmin/netstandard config.
You can install CUPS, but Oracle won't support it until it's part of the OS (S11, apparently).
The "System Administration Guide: Solaris Printing" is highly recommended for those administering printers on Solaris.

Can anyone tell me how to install a network printer driver without having the network printer online?

Can anyone tell me how to install a network printer driver without having the network printer online? It doesn't matter what manufactors make the network printers. Is a netwaork printer(with network card) has to have that printer on line to be able to install
the driver? This is the point of my question!
I've ask a same type of question previously, but I can't either get good answer nor reply on the response.

DP
The computer (and driver) have to handshake with the printer, QED it has to be either online or physically connected and if it is physically connected it wont work on the network so yes it does.

How to add a Shared printer to solaris

Hi,
In a server, i am using solaris 10 x86.
I want to add a shared printer which is attached in a windows xp PC.
Can any one guide me , how to add a printer which is shared in a Windowx PC to My Solaris 10 X86 Machine.
Thanks.
Viraj

Is it directly attached to the Windows PC (e.g. via USB?) Is it a laser printer?
In Windows, you may need to add the additional components for Unix printing and TCP (or IPP) printing. You should then be able to share your printer as a as an LPD/LPR printer or an IPP printer. Then you could probably use lpadmin to add the printer was my_xp_box:printQname
I have NOT used CUPS on a Solaris server myself - most of my printers are HP laser network printers that support LPR/LPD and port 9100 printing. but a quick google search will show that it is available for Solaris from the Solaris freeware companion CD. CUPS may make it easier to configure the solaris client. If you are dealing with an inkjet printer you probably will have to use cups to get the driver support.

How to install sun studio 12 under Centos 5???

HI, all,
I am trying to install Sun Studio 12 into Centos 5. The followings are what I did:
1. Download sun studio 12 package by selecting Linex (x86) for Centos from web site and save this package under /var/tmp.
2. I used bzcat to unpack this package by:
bzcat < SunStudio12ml-linux-x86-200709-pkg.tar.bz2 | /bin/tar xvf -
3. I did prepare_system before installation by:
./prepare_system [-d /opt/sun/ ] [-R /var/tmp/ ] [-C | -s netbeans | java | patches | all_patches | jdk_patches | all | print_needed_steps ]
where [-d /opt/sun/ ] is the directory where all missing softwares will be installed, [-R /var/tmp/ ] is the directory where unpacked programs are saved.
After running prepare_system, the resposes are:
bash: -s: command not found
bash: patches: command not found
bash: all_patches: command not found
bash: all: command not found
bash: print_needed_steps: command not found
bash: jdk_patches: command not found
*Usage: gij [OPTION] ... CLASS [ARGS] ...*
to invoke CLASS.main, or
*gij -jar [OPTION] ... JARFILE [ARGS] ...*
to execute a jar file
*Try `gij --help' for more information.*
4. I started to use installer with command line to install the sun studio 12 by:
./installer -nodisplay
The result shows me some exceptions and installation is failed as:

How to install a PostScript printer

Hi, I need to install a postcript printer but I cant find any drivers in mac os lion. Can you tell me how to do so?
Thnax a lotin advance

The Generic Postscript PPD is included with Lion. So when adding a printer you should be able to change the Print Using menu to see this Generic PS printer. Or, if you are a debian user, then you may prefer to use the CUPS web page as you would with your Linux distro.
