Hello,

There are 1 global and 2 local zones in our Solaris 10 server. We
need to set up a no-cost print managing utility in the 2 local zones
only. Can we use CUPs in our situation ? If yes, what version of CUPs
should we use and where to download it.
We'd also like to know the CUPs setup procedure at these local zones.

Thanks,

Bill

Did you ever get printing to work with the directions I provided
you back in February?

Hello John,
Yes !! I got your instruction and it worked fine. We are now looking
at
something CUPs to manage the printers down the road.

Thanks,

Hi there,

Yes, you can indeed setup setup CUPS very easily on Solaris (with root
access).

I use it in about a dozen "local zones" - the largest one running roughly
430 printers - I dont use drivers, just raw 9100 printing, the print job's
themselves are either raw ascii (with emulation control codes) or -
primarily - postscript. This means it all works very quickly indeed :D
(yay!)

Anyway, the older Solaris companion CD's have CUPS 1.4.3 on it (somewhere
around there) - this is a Solaris SPARC ready binary (if you need it on
Sparc) - you can download it via FTP ftp.sunfreeware.com too.

Installation is by default to /opt/sfw/cups/ - and all the logs, binaries
and temp data files are stored there too.

I found that after installation, you either had to re-config your profiles
to look for the "lpadmin", "lp"etc commands in /opt/sfe/cups/bin and
.../sbin/, or - what I did, was make a backup of the Solaris lp commands and
copy the CUPS one's in over /usr/bin and /usr/sbin.

Works really well - Post again if you have any further queries or
difficulties.
