Administering Printers on a Network When Using the RFC-1179 Printing Protocol (Task Map)

Table 10-3 Administering Printers by Using the RFC–1179 Printing Protocol: Task Map

Task
Description
For Instructions
Use the RFC-1179 protocol to cascade print requests.
Use this procedure to remove the dependency on the print scheduler service, if the print host is used to cascade print requests.
Share printers when using the RFC-1179 network protocol.
Printer sharing when using the RFC-1179 printing protocol is accomplished by enabling and disabling the network listening service.

How to Cascade Print Requests by Using the RFC-1179 Protocol

The RFC-1179 protocol listener is represented by the FMRI, svc:/application/print/rfc1179 (in.lpd). By default, this FMRI is dependent on the print scheduler service, svc:/application/print/server, and will only run if the host is running the print scheduler service.

Normally, the RFC-1179 listener is not needed when the print scheduler is not running. However, if the host is used to cascade print requests, the dependency on the print scheduler service should be removed.

  1. Become superuser.
  2. Remove the dependency on the print scheduler service.
    # cat <<EOF | svccfg > select application/print/rfc1179 > delpg lpsched > end > EOF
  3. After you have removed the dependency, run the following command for the changes to take effect immediately:
    # svcadm refresh application/print/rfc1179
