Trusted Solaris Administrator's Procedures

To Configure a Network Printer for Labeled Output

A network printer must be managed by a Trusted Solaris print server in order to print labeled output. A network printer prints only at a single-label assigned to it in a Security Families template.

  1. Pick a printer name to be used as its host name, and assign the printer an IP address.

  2. Set up the printer as described in the printer's documentation.

  3. Assume the System Administrator role on the Trusted Solaris print server, and go to an ADMIN_LOW workspace.

  4. Add an entry for the printer using the Computers tool in the Solaris Management Console.

    The scope of the toolbox that you load determines whether the entry is made in the local hosts file, NIS map or NIS+ table.

    1. Double-click Trusted Solaris Configuration->Computers and Networks->Computers.

    2. Select Action->Add Computer.

    3. On the Add Computer dialog, type the printer name in the Name field, type the printer's IP address in the IP Address field, and click OK.

  5. Create a new unlabeled tamplate assigning it the ADMIN_HIGH label.

    1. Double-click Trusted Solaris Configuration->Computers and Networks->Security Families.

    2. In the Action menu, select Add->Template.

    3. On the New Template dialog->Basic Information tab

      1. Assign a Name.

      2. Select Unlabeled from the Host Type menu and specify the Minimum Label and the Maximum Label as ADMIN_HIGH.

      3. Assign a Label and a Clearance of ADMIN_HIGH, and click OK in the New Template dialog box.

  6. Assign the new template to the host name or IP address of the printer by double-clicking the icon for the new template.

  7. In the Action menu, select Add->Host.

  8. In the New Remote Host Entry dialog, enter the Host Name and IP address, then click OK.

  9. Configure the printer on the Trusted Solaris computer using the LP administration commands.

    Complete the setup of the Network printer on the Trusted Solaris computer by following the procedure "How To Add A Network Printer Using LP Commands" in the "Setting Up Printers (Tasks)" in System Administration Guide, Volume 2.
