Setting up the Workstation
This section explains the settings of Solaris 2.x workstation for printing.
Before Setup
Before setting up the workstation, check the following:
> The setup procedures and commands may vary according to
different versions of OS. Refer to the manuals that came with
the workstation for details.
> To setup the printer, the user must be a superuser. Contact
your network administrator to perform the setup if you do not
have the authority of a superuser.
> Check the IP address set up for the printer in advance. Be
cautious as an incorrect IP address may cause severe errors.
> Before performing any network setup (such as the IP address)
to a host running under NIS (Network Information Service),
consult the NIS administrator.
