<TITLE> Dialog: New Attached Printer </TITLE>

<CONTENT>

<p>

Once you have physically connected the printer to the printer server,

use the New Attached Printer dialog to install the printer, which

makes the printer available for printing from the computer on which

you are running Solaris Print Manager.

<p>

<b> Printer Name:</b>

Specifies a unique name for the printer. The

printer name must be a text string composed of

uppercase or lowercase alphabetical characters

(a-z, A-Z), digits (0-9), hyphens, or

underscores. A printer name can be a maximum of

14 characters long.

<p>

<b> Printer Server:</b> This is the computer you have selected to act

as the server for print actions. You must be logged on to this

computer and be running Solaris Print Manager on it. Solaris Print

Manager sets up this system with the appropriate software to manage

local and remote printers.

<p>

<b> Description:</b>

[Optional] Describes the printer, including the printer type and

location, possibly, or provides other information about the

printer.

<p>

<b> Printer Port:</b>

Specifies the hardware port, such as /dev/term/a, that the printer is

connected to.

<p>

<b> Printer Type:</b>

Specifies the generic name for a type of

printer. Supported printer types correspond to

items listed in the /usr/share/lib/terminfo

directories. Examples are PostScript, Daisy, and Diablo.

<p>

<b> File Contents:</b>

Specifies the format of files that can be

printed without any special filtering by the

print software. PostScript is the default and is

probably correct most of the time.

<p>

<b> Fault Notification:</b>

Specifies how the superuser will be notified in

case of a printer error.

<p>

<b> Options: Default Printer:</b> If checked, designates this printer

as the default printer for printing jobs from the computer on which

you are running Solaris Print Manager. If you are using a naming

service, this printer will be the default printer for the naming

service, also.

<p>

Note that this is the last place the print subsystem looks to

determine where a particular print job will be printed; the

destination option of the lp command is the first place looked, and

other environment variables are checked before this one. See the man

page for printers.conf(4) for a full explanation of the search order.

<p>

<b> Options: Banner:</b> Specifies whether a banner

page will be printed between jobs.

<br>

<br>

"Aways Print Banner" stipulates that a banner will always be printed

and may not be turned off by the user.

<br>

"User Selectable - Default=on" stipulates that a banner will be printed

unless the user selects

to turn the banner off.

<br>

"Never Print Banner" stipulates that a banner will never be printed

and may not be turned on by the user.

<p>

<b> User Access List:</b>

Specifies the print clients that can

print to this printer. By default, all print

clients have access to this printer, as designated by the word

"all" in the list.

<p>

If you want to restrict its use to individual users, enter a user name

in the text field below the list and click Add. Other legal constructs

are system-name!login-ID (user "login-ID" on system "system-name"),

system-name!all (all users on system "system-name"), and all!login-ID

(user "login-ID" on all systems). Use the lpadmin(1M) command to deny

access to users.

<p>

To delete a user from the list, select the user in the list and click

Delete.

<p>

<b>OK:</b> Apply changes and dismiss the window.

<br>

<b>Apply:</b> Apply the changes and leave the window displayed.

<br>

<b>Reset:</b> Reset all fields to last Apply

<br>

<b>Cancel:</b> Dismiss the window.

<br>

<b>Help:</b> Display help for the current window or dialog.
