Trusted Solaris Administrator's Procedures

To Configure an Attached Printer

  1. Connect the printer to a serial or parallel port on a print server using the appropriate cable, as described in the printer's installation guide.

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

  3. If the printer is connected to a serial port, make sure the correct baud rate is set, using the Serial Port tool from the Solaris Management Console Devices and Hardware manager.

    See the printer documentation for the correct baud rate. See also "Adjusting Printer Port Characteristics" in System Administration Guide, Volume 2.

  4. Bring up the Printer Administrator tool as described in "To Launch the Printer Administrator Action".

  5. Choose New Attached Printer from the Printer menu.

    If needed, follow the procedure "How to Add a New Attached Printer With Solaris Print Manager" in the "Setting Up Printers (Tasks)" in System Administration Guide, Volume 2.

    Caution - Caution -

    Do not change the Printer Type and File Contents settings from the default value of PostScript. If you do, printing will not work.

    If the default printer label range of ADMIN_LOW to ADMIN_HIGH is acceptable, you are done.

  6. To restrict the label range for the printer, go to "To Configure a Restricted Label Range for a Printer".
