Solaris Trusted Extensions Administrator's Procedures

ProcedureHow to Configure a Multilevel Print Server and Its Printers

Printers that are managed by a Trusted Extensions print server print labels on body pages, banner pages, and trailer pages. Such printers can print jobs within the label range of the print server. Any Trusted Extensions host that can reach the print server can use the printers that are connected to that server.

Before You Begin

Determine the print server for your Trusted Extensions network. You must be in the System Administrator role in the global zone on this print server.

  1. Start the Solaris Management Console.

    For details, see How to Administer the Local System With the Solaris Management Console.

  2. Choose the Files toolbox.

    The title of the toolbox includes Scope=Files, Policy=TSOL.

  3. Enable multilevel printing by configuring the global zone with the print server port, 515/tcp.

    Create a multilevel port (MLP) for the print server by adding the port to the global zone.

    1. Navigate to the Trusted Network Zones tool.

    2. In the Multilevel Ports for Zone's IP Addresses, add 515/tcp.

    3. Click OK.

  4. Define the characteristics of the connected printers.

    1. Start the Print Manager.

    2. Define the make and model of a connected printer.

      In the Print Manager, you supply the values for the first two fields, then the Print Manager supplies the driver name. 


      Printer Make   manufacturer
Printer Model  manufacturer-part-number
Printer Driver automatically filled in

  5. Assign a printer model script to each printer that is connected to the print server.

    The model script activates the banner and trailer pages for the specified printer.

    For your choice of scripts, see Printer Model Scripts. If the driver name for the printer starts with Foomatic, then specify one of the foomatic model scripts. Use the following command:


    $ lpadmin -p printer -m model

    If the default printer label range of ADMIN_LOW to ADMIN_HIGH is acceptable for every printer, then your label configuration is done.
