A Quick Look at the SunSoft Print Client Commands

When you install the SunSoft Print Client software on a system, some of the print commands in Solaris are replaced by SunSoft print client commands.

The SunSoft print client commands have the same names, accept the same command-line options, generate the same output, and work with the same tools as the Solaris print commands. Table 1-2 lists the SunSoft print client commands.
