Hi Guys,

How to configure the ZEBRA printer on Solaris .

only below information is provided.

like how it should appear in printers.conf

and IP to add in hosts file.

In printers.conf:

super_exp_zex2et9x:\
:bsdaddr=server1,super_exp_zex2et9x,Solaris:

super_exp_zex2et1x:\
:bsdaddr=server1, super_exp_zex2et1x,Solaris:

super_exp_zex4et1x:\
:bsdaddr=server1, super_exp_zex4et1x,Solaris:

2/And update the hosts file:

In hosts file:
To add:
super_exp_zex2et9x = IP 25.99.8.16
super_exp_zex2et1x = IP 25.99.8.11
super_exp_zex4et1x = IP 25.99.8.13

Please advise.

The Solaris print system uses /etc/printers.conf .
To add new printers you can use

  • the old SysV command lpadmin -p ... or
  • the Solaris-specific lpset ... or
  • edit the /etc/printers.conf file with a text editor (e.g. vi )
    I am not sure if you need to also edit the /etc/inet/hosts file and add the hosts definitions.
    Please also read the man pages:
man printers.conf
man lpadmin
man lpset

You see the configured printers with the SysV command

lpstat -v

(or the Solaris-specific command lpget list or the BSD command lpc status )
