System Administration Guide: Solaris Printing

Setting Definitions for Printers

Setting definitions for the printers on your network is an ongoing task that lets you provide a more effective print environment for users. For example, you can assign printer descriptions for all your site's printers to help users find where a printer is located. Or, you can define a class of printers to provide the fastest turnaround for print requests.

For information on setting up printer definitions and planning printers on your network, see Chapter 2, Planning for Printing in the Solaris Operating System (Tasks).
