Moving /etc/printers.conf 32 weeks 3 days ago

Hi all,

I am requested to move printer definitions/configurations to new box (Solaris 10). The old box (Solaris 8) only has /etc/printers.conf configured. There are no /etc/lp/interface or /etc/lp/printer files.

What I did was, I just moved /etc/printers.conf file to the new box and restarting the print service.

The new box is able to detect and register all the print servers.

I'm looking for a way to add printers to my server using command line methode.

to be able to script printer installation

So far I have find this instruction:

lpadmin -p b0542 -E -v lpd://10.1.205.81/b0542

What should I add to this line to set the driver : Generic text-only printer ?

What should I add to this line to set the location of the printer?

Thank you !

Here's the situation: We're replacing 11 printers with newer models, and we'll be installing them on our print server and sharing them out. The plan is to share the new printers under different names than the ones they're replacing, and un-share the old ones.

So I need to come up with a way to remove the client connections to old printers automatically.

I'm working on a new print server running Windows Server 2008 R2. The shared printers will be listed in Active Directory. The print server has a host record with one name, but I want to users to connect using a different name, setup via a cname record on the dns server.

The problem is that these shared printers are listed in Active Directory using the host A record.

Hi,

We are facing an issue while setting up printers in solaris 5.10 . We have Oracle EBS installed over it. We have configured the printer and when we try printing a page from EBS it is printing fine. But the problem arises when we print two copies of the page.

Hello,

I have to add a new line at the end of a File on Solaris-System:

I think my script should be right, because I evaluated it to other threads. However the script does not what I am expected it should do.

I have a script similar following one:

#!/usr/bin/sh

var="ABC" if [ $var == "ABC" ] then echo True else echo False fi

Above code does not work in Solaris Sparc and Solaris X64. It is showing == undefined. Above code works fine If I replace == with =.

I am trying to get some patches off of some solaris boxes but my ssh command line in this script is screwing up:

Code: sh -n -o Batchmode=yes ${HOST} "uname -a ;ls -ltr /var/sadm/patch | grep -v 123456789-01">>${OUT_FILE}; Here is the full script:
