Initially, only the zone in which a print server was configured can print to the printers of that print server. The system administrator must explicitly add access to those printers for other zones and systems. The possibilities are as follows:
For a global zone, add access to the shared printers that are connected to a global zone on a different system.
For a labeled zone, add access to the shared printers that are connected to the global zone of its system.
For a labeled zone, add access to a shared printer that a remote zone at the same label is configured for.
For a labeled zone, add access to the shared printers that are connected to a global zone on a different system.
Before You Begin
A print server has been configured with a label range or a single label. In addition, the printers that are connected to the print server have been configured and shared. For details, see the following:
You must be in the System Administrator role in the global zone.
# ping printer-IP-address
If this command fails, you have a network connection problem. Fix the connection problem, then return to this procedure. For assistance, see Troubleshooting the Trusted Network.
# lpadmin -p printer-name -E \ -v ipp://print-server-IP-address/printers/printer-name-on-server
# lpadmin -p printer-name -E \ -v ipp://print-server-IP-address/printers/printer-name-on-print-server
The labels of the zones must be identical.
# lpadmin -p printer-name -E \ -v ipp://zone-print-server-IP-address/printers/printer-name-on-zone-print-server
For instructions, see How to Assign a Label to an Unlabeled Print Server.
On every client, test that printing works for all accounts that can access the global zone and for all accounts that can access labeled zones.
