Configuring and Managing the EasyLAN Wireless

2-31

To use the Printer Manager

1. Open the Printer Manager under Open Windows in the Admintool utility. For help,

see the documentation for your Sun Solaris system.

2. Select Edit.

3. Select Add.

4. Select Add Access to Remote Printer.

5. At the PrinterName prompt, type any desired name for the print queue.

6. At the Printer Server prompt, type

name

servicename

where:

name

matches the EasyLAN Wireless name as entered in the hosts table.

servicename

is the print service name. For binary graphics files, use the service

BINARY_P1; for text files, use the service TEXT_P1.

7. Make sure that the Print Server OS is set to BSD (this is the default setting).

8. Select Add.

9. To print, use the standard lp command:

lp –dLabelPrinter

filename

Note:

We recommend using the /etc/hosts file for the printer name rather than NIS or

other name services.

Due to a bug in the Sun lpd implementation on Solaris 2.4 and earlier releases, you may

encounter problems printing very long print jobs. The workaround is to configure the

EasyLAN Wireless as an HP JetDirect card using the HP JetAdmin for UNIX software.

Solaris print queues can also be configured from the UNIX shell using the lpadmin

command.

Configuring for HP/UX

1. For HP/UX 10.x, open the sam program to configure the EasyLAN Wireless.

2. When you get a list of options, select Printers and Plotters.

3. Select LP Spooler.

4. Select Printers and Plotters.

5. Select Actions, and then select Add Remote Printer/Plotter.

6. Enter any name as the Printer Name (the Printer Name is the name of the print

queue).
