Chapter 6

Setting Up Printers by Using LP Print Commands (Tasks)

This chapter describes how to set up printers and make those printers accessible to systems on the network by using LP print commands.

This is a list of the information that is in this chapter:


Note - Starting with the Oracle Solaris 11 Express release, CUPS is the default print service. Before using LP print commands to set up and administer printers, you must first install the required software packages, then activate the LP print service. For more information, see Switching From CUPS to the LP Print Service.


For information about using CUPS to manage your printing environment, see Chapter 3, Setting Up and Administering Printers by Using CUPS (Tasks).

For overview information about printing, see Chapter 1, Introduction to Printing in the Oracle Solaris Operating System.
