The Solaris 2.6 print packages have been redesigned to provide greater flexibility and modularity of print software installation and to allow installation of a smaller print client footprint.
Redesign features include:
It is possible with a custom installation to install only the client software on the print client, allowing for a smaller client footprint. All packages, client and server, are installed on print servers.
The default state is to install everything, but you can choose to install client or server software only. Print servers require that the client software is installed.
PostScript filter software is contained in the SUNWpsf print package.
Table 39-1 describes the new set of print packages.
