The Windows connector supports printing for the following printer configurations:
Network printers visible on the Windows system
Network printers visible on the Sun Ray server
Local printers attached to the Windows system
Local printers attached to the Sun Ray server
Local printers attached to the client
Here are some important notes about setting up printers for the Windows connector.
Network printers are not affected by hotdesking. Printers connected to clients are available for printing from any client connected to the same Sun Ray server.
For printers accessible through the Sun Ray server (network visible or local), you need to perform some initial configuration to make the printers accessible through the Windows connector.
This procedure describes how to set up a raw print queue on a Sun Ray server running Oracle Solaris 10 so that a Windows system can access it. This procedure is typically needed for printers locally attached to the Sun Ray server.
If a network printer is visible on the Sun Ray server, this
typically indicates that the queue has been set up already and
you should not have to perform this task. These instructions
pertain to raw print queues, which are print queues configured
without a printer driver. Please consult your operating system
documentation for instructions about setting up queues for
PostScript drivers. See also the lp and
lpadmin man pages.
Specify the printer and printer device node using the lpadmin command.
# /usr/sbin/lpadmin -pprinter-name\ -v /tmp/SUNWut/units/IEEE802.mac-address/dev/printers/device-node
Enable the print queue.
# /usr/bin/enable printer-name
Accept the print queue.
# /usr/sbin/accept printer-name
To update the Windows session with the available print queues on the Sun Ray server, you must restart the Windows connector with the relevant print queues specified on the command line. See Section 17.16.3, “How to Make Sun Ray Printers Available to a Windows Session” for details.

Uncomment the following line from the
/etc/cups/mime.convs file:
application/octet-stream application/vnd.cups-raw 0 -
Uncomment the following line from the
/etc/cups/mime.types file:
application/octet-stream
Restart the cups daemon.
# /etc/init.d/cups restart
Create a soft link to the Sun Ray printer node in
/dev/usb
For example, if the device node is
/tmp/SUNWut/units/IEEE802.,
then use the following command:
mac-address/dev/printers/device-node
# ln -s /tmp/SUNWut/units/IEEE802.mac-address/dev/printers/device-node\ /dev/usb/sunray-printer
Use this soft link
(/dev/usb/sunray-printer) as the Device
URI while creating the print queue.
After rebooting, you might have to create the
/dev/usb directory and re-create the
soft link.
To complete the procedure, set up a raw print queue.
# /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p printer-name -E -v usb:/dev/usb/sunray-printer
To update the Windows session with the available print queues on the Sun Ray server, you must restart the Windows connector with the relevant print queues specified on the command line. See Section 17.16.3, “How to Make Sun Ray Printers Available to a Windows Session” for details.
The Windows session is aware only of the print queues specified in the command line when the Windows connector is started. To update the Windows session with the available print queues on the Sun Ray server, you must restart the Windows connector with the relevant print queues specified on the command line.
Make sure the print queues are set up on the Sun Ray server. See Section 17.16.1, “How to Set Up Print Queues (Oracle Solaris 10)” and Section 17.16.2, “How to Set Up Print Queues (Oracle Linux)” for details.
Printer data is created on the Windows system, so make sure to specify the name of the printer's Windows driver and install it on the Windows system. If you make a printer available without specifying a driver, the Windows connector defaults to a PostScript driver.
To find the printer driver name on a Windows system, check the Windows Registry key at:
MyComputer/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet\
/Control/Print/Environments/Windows NT x86/Drivers/Version-3
All the printer drivers installed on the system are displayed on this list.
To specify a printer's Windows driver:
% /opt/SUNWuttsc/bin/uttsc -r printer:printer-name="windows-printer-driver-name"hostname.domain
where printer-name is a valid raw
print queue on the Sun Ray server and
windows-printer-driver-name is
the name of the printer exactly as shown on the Windows
server. Double quotes are required around the name of the
printer.
To make a printer available without specifying a driver:
% /opt/SUNWuttsc/bin/uttsc -r printer:printer-namehostname.domain
where printer-name is a valid raw
print queue on the Sun Ray server.
To make multiple printers available:
% /opt/SUNWuttsc/bin/uttsc -r printer:printer1=driver1,printer2=driver2hostname.domain
Sun Ray Software automatically keeps track of the printer configuration changes on a remote Windows system for each user. Whenever a user changes the printer configuration on a remote Window system for any of the printers specified through the uttsc command, the Sun Ray server saves those changes to the Sun Ray data store. The Sun Ray server then restores the saved printer configurations whenever the user reconnects to the Windows system through the Windows connector.
The uttscprinteradm command helps you manage
this information. You can use it to list the available printer
information and to perform cleanup in case of user or printer
deletion. See the uttscprinteradm man page
for details.
