<p>

The Solaris Print Manager has tool-wide settings that may be selected.

Each of these choices applies to all further tasks utilized within the

Solaris Print Manager. For example, once Show Command-Line Console has been

selected, or checked, the Console will be visible for all tasks until

this selection is turned off, or unchecked.

<p>

<b> Show Command-Line Console: </b>

The Command-Line Console displays the command-line version of add, modify,

delete actions. Errors and warnings may also be displayed after the

command.

<p>

The default is off.

<p>

<b> Confirm All Actions: </b>

When Confirm All Actions is selected, all subsequent Solaris Print

Manager actions will require confirmation before being performed.

<p>

The default is off.

<p>

<b> Use PPD files: </b>

When configuring local printers, PPD files may be used to describe the

printer. If selected, the New Attached Printer and New Network Printer

screens offer the selection of printer Make, Model, and PPD file.

<p>

The default is on.

<p>

<b> Use localhost for Print Server Name: </b>

The print server name utilized by the Solaris Print System may be

either the hostname or "localhost". This applies to the tasks for adding

new local printers in the "files" Name Service: New Attached Printer

and New Network Printer. The use of "localhost" is recommended.

<p>

The default is on.

<p>

Documentation about Printing Services is found in the System Administration

Guide: Advanced Administration.
