Troubleshooting Adding a Printer

If you use Admintool to add access to a remote printer after installing the Solaris 2.6 release, and you get the following message:


Admintool: Error
add remote printer failed

It is possible that the SunSoft Print Client software is installed in your network and the remote printer is already available to you. Use the lpstat -t command before adding a printer to see if the printer is available.
