Sun Solaris 2.x Configuration
The procedure below must be used for registering a remote printer.
NOTE
Admintool is normally used to register remote printers
on Open Windows. However, it cannot be used here,
because the data recipient and queue have the same
name.
NOTE
If Solaris 2.x is connected to the remote printer for a
long period according to the system specifications,
errors and forced disconnection may occur.
Therefore, if paper tearing, off-line and other errors
result in waiting time, printing may have to be aborted.
