Remote printing

UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

I'm trying to print from my Solaris server to a Windows Print Server

The Print Server will then pass the print job to a PC connected via dial-up and print it locally.

EG:

Solaris
-----
| |

------
/88888/
-------

\

Win Prt Svr Remote PC & Prtr
---- ---- _____
| | /\ / | | /____ /
| | / \/ | | [ ] |
---- ---- [_____]/
/8888/ /8888/
----- -----

I've installed Windows services for Unix but still can't get the job which exits Solaris nicely, to appear at the Windows print queue.

this is how i do it :

Make sure windows box have lpd installed and running

then on the solaris box edit the /etc/printers.conf
and add something like this :

windows_printer_name:bsdaddr=nt_print_server_hostname_or_ip
