SUMMARY: Solaris 2.0 machine as a print client

This was my original question:

> I try to set up SunOS 5.0 Print Client for a Sun OS 4.1.1 Print Server
> and all seems ok...but all what i get is this mail message:
>
> >From lp@myhostname Wed Nov 4 16:44:40 1992
> Subject: Status of lp request lp-n (n=1,2,3,...)
> Content-Type: text
>
> Your request lp-n destined for lp
> was canceled by the administrator.
>

and here is the right answer:

>
> Since there is no filters running on print client, you have to
> make sure that the contents of file must be correct for printer
> you defined....
>
> If you defined your printer lp for PS file, I think you did this...
> # lpadmin -p PS -T PS -I PS
>
> As you can see, if you defined your -I option only for PS
> and it will expect to see only PS files...
>
> You can change this to "any" or "simple" to specify that take any
> kinds of file formats or ASCII file accordingly.

Also this looks very useful:

> I have recently setup a Solaris 2.0 machine as a print client of a 4.1.2 print
> server, but only after getting help from the Sun Solaris 2.0 Migration Support
> Centre - OPCOM. OPCOM maintains an anon ftp site which contains some helpful
> information, ported code and setup scripts for Solaris 2. Among the setup
> scripts I found a script called "add_remote_4.1_print.sh" which did exactly
> what I wanted - and it works! The internet address of the ftp server is
> opcom.sun.ca. When you get the script, note the hack required to get printing
> going.

> Good Luck.
