System Administration Guide

Check the Network

Problems are more common with remote print requests--those going from a print client to a print server. You should make sure that network access between the print server and print clients is enabled.

If the network is running the Network Information Service Plus (NIS+), see the NIS+ and FNS Administration Guide in the Solaris 2.6 System Administrator AnswerBook for instructions to enable access between systems. If the network is not running the Network Information Service (NIS) or NIS+, before you set up print servers and print clients, include the Internet address and system name for each client system in the /etc/hosts file on the print server. Also, the Internet address and system name for the print server must be included in the /etc/hosts file of each print client system.
