Interoperability of Trusted Extensions With Trusted Solaris 8 Printing

Trusted Solaris 8 and Trusted Extensions systems that have compatible label_encodings files and that identify each other as using a CIPSO template can use each other for remote printing. The following table describes how to set up the systems to enable printing. By default, users cannot list or cancel print jobs on a remote print server of the other OS. Optionally, you can authorize users to do so.
