<TITLE> To Install a Network Printer </TITLE>

<CONTENT>

<p>

Once you have physically connected the printer to the network,

do the following to install the printer, which makes the printer

available for printing from the network.

<p>

<b> Note:</b> The computer on which you are running Solaris Print

Manager becomes the printer server for the printer being installed.

<p>

1. Choose New Network Printer from the Printer menu.

<p>

The New Attached Printer dialog will be displayed.

<p>

2. Enter a name in Printer Name.

<p>

3. [Optional] Enter a description of the printer.

<p>

This might include the location and the type of printer.

<p>

4. Select a printer type from the Printer Type pulldown menu.

<p>

Scroll the list if necessary. If the printer type is not in the list,

select Other; you will be asked to specify a printer type. Enter a

printer type and click OK.

<p>

5. Select an item in the File Contents pulldown menu.

<p>

Choices include PostScript and ASCII; the default is PostScript, which

will work in most cases.

<p>

6. Select an item in the Fault Notification pulldown menu.

<p>

The default is Write to Superuser.

<p>

7a. If the printer uses BSD protocol, enter the network name of the printer

in the Destination field, followed by a colon and the printer-vendor-supplied

queue name.

<p>

7b. If the printer uses TCP protocol, enter the network name of the printer

in the Destination field, followed by a colon and port number to be used in the

tcp connection to the printer.

<p>

7c. If the printer uses a printer URI, enter the the URI for the printer

in the Destination field (for example:

"smb://printer-host/printer-name").

<p>

8. Select either BSD, TCP, or URI from the Protocol pulldown menu.

<p>

9. [Optional] Click Default Printer if you want this printer to be the default

printer for this server.

<p>

10. [Optional] Select option to define whether a banner

page is to be printed between jobs. "Always Print Banner"

specifies that a banner will be printed and the user may not specify

otherwise. "User Selectable - Default=on" specifies that the user may

specify to turn off the banner in the print command; if the user does

not specify, the banner will be printed. "Never Print Banner" specifies

that a banner will not be printed and the user may not specify

otherwise. The default action is to always print the banner.

<p>

11. Modify the User Access List, if necessary.

<p>

The default value is "all," meaning that anyone can use this printer.

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>

<b> Note:</b> If you enter "all" or "none" in the text field and click

Add, all individual user names will be deleted from the list and

replaced by "all" or "none."

<p>

12. Click OK or Apply to install the printer.

<p>

The window will remain if you click Apply, allowing you to install

additional printers.

<p>

<b> Note:</b> If you are using the NIS naming service, you have to know

the root password for the NIS master. If you are using the LDAP naming

service, you must know a fully distinguished name which has update privilege

and the corresponding password. Default values may need to be overridden.

You will be prompted for the password when you click Apply or OK.

Enter the password and click OK.

<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.
