How to Add Domain-Wide Access to a Printer using NIS+

On the NIS+ master server, use the lpset command (see lpset(1M)) to add the printer configuration information to NIS+ via XFN (see fns(5)).

1. Become superuser on the NIS+ master server.

2. (Optional) If FNS has not been initialized, create the root organization context and its subcontents for the NIS+ root domain.

   # fncreate -t org org//

3. Create the NIS+ map.

   # lpset -n fns -a bsdaddr=server1,printer1,extensions printer1

   -n fns	Creates or updates the FNS content.
   -a bsdaddr=server1,printer1,extensions	Adds the print server, printer destination, and enables Solaris protocol extensions.
   printer1	Specifies the printer name.
