CUPS Print Management Tools
In Oracle Solaris, printing is managed through the following tools:
-
CUPS command-line utilities – These commands include new CUPS print
commands, as well as some print commands that were previously used by the LP
print service.
-
CUPS web browser interface – Go to
http://localhost:631.
CUPS provides various commands to set up printers and make those printers
accessible to systems on the network. In addition, CUPS supports several
printer-specific options that enable you to control printer configuration. The following
table lists frequently used CUPS commands.
Note -
Some CUPS command names are the same as legacy LP print commands, but the behavior
of commands under CUPS management might be different.
