The following conversion script can only be run on a system running the Solaris 8 release.

  1. Log in as superuser on the NIS+ master.

  2. Copy the following conversion script to system and name it something like /tmp/convert.


    #!/bin/sh

PRINTER=""

for LINE in `lpget -n xfn list | tr "\t " "^A^B"` ; do
	LINE=`echo ${LINE} | tr "^A^B" "\t " | sed -e 's/^	 \t//g'`
	case "${LINE}" in
		*:)
			PRINTER=`echo ${LINE} | sed -e 's/://g'`
			;;
		*=*)
			lpset -n nisplus -a "${LINE}" ${PRINTER}
			;;
	esac
done
    Note -

    If you cut and paste this script into a text file, change both ^A^B (caratA caratB) sequences to Control A Control B.

  3. Make the script executable.


    # chmod 755 /tmp/convert

  4. Run the conversion script.


    # /tmp/convert
