How to Set Up Printer Fault Notification

Setting up printer fault notification determines how superuser is notified when a printer fault occurs. The choices are: write to superuser, mail to superuser, or none, which is the default setting in Solaris Print Manager. The lpadmin -A command provides more flexibility in setting printer fault alerts. See lpadmin(1M) for more information.

   See "How to Start Solaris Print Manager" for instructions.

2. Select the printer to set fault notification from the Solaris Print Manager main window.

3. Choose Modify Printer Properties from the Printer menu.

4. Select the fault notification option from the Fault Notification menu.

5. Click OK.

6. Exit Solaris Print Manager.

   Choose Exit from the Print Manager Menu.
