Hi ,

i need to configure around 80 printers in a server. can someone please help me with the script.
i have a file that has printer name and its ip.

like.

 
printer1 1.1.1.1
printer2 0.0.0.0

and so on.. can some one please help me to do it via script.
i am using solaris 10

After lot of thinking i could figure out the below script :slight_smile:

j=1;
for i in `cat prntlist`
do
ipaddr=`awk -v a=$j '(NR==a){print $1}' iplist`
echo $i:$ipaddr
###i can add lpadmin cmd here with $i for printername and $ipaddr for printer ip
j=$((j+1))
done

i know with unix there would be many ways to do. If someone has some smarter way to do it then please let me know. :smiley:

Thank you
