Windows LPR on Unix

Solaris
From your Solaris system, do this (assumes printer IP is 192.168.1.99):

# lpadmin -p hp3200m -s 192.168.1.99 -I any

Type the following to set the default printer (assuming the printer is hp3200m):

# lpadmin -d hp3200m

You need to be sure that print services are started (/usr/lib/lpsched or the equivalent command using Service Management Facility [SMF] in the Solaris 10 OS).

BigAdmin

Linux
#lpadmin -p LinuxPrinterName -E -v lpd://IP_ADDRESS/WindowsPrinterName
