Selecting the Network Printer Destination Name

The print subsystem requires access information for the printer. This is the name that the subsystem uses when making the network connection to the printer. This name is supplied by the system administrator to the Solaris Print Manager Install Network Printer screen. It becomes part of the printer configuration database. The destination is the name of the printer node, sometimes qualified by a port name. Port designation varies across printer vendors. You will find information about port designation in the documentation that is provided by the printer vendor. The format of the printer access name is:

printer_node-name[:port_designation]
