Once you have physically connected the printer to the printer server,
use the New Attached Printer dialog to install the printer, which
makes the printer available for printing from the computer on which
you are running Oracle Solaris Print Manager.
Printer Name:
Specifies a unique name for the printer. The
printer name must be a text string composed of
uppercase or lowercase alphabetical characters
(a-z, A-Z), digits (0-9), hyphens, or
underscores. A printer name can be a maximum of
14 characters long.
Printer Server: This is the computer you have selected to act
as the server for print actions. You must be logged on to this
computer and be running Oracle Solaris Print Manager on it. Oracle
Solaris Print Manager sets up this system with the appropriate software to manage
local and remote printers.
Description:
[Optional] Describes the printer, including the printer type and
location, possibly, or provides other information about the
printer.
Printer Port:
Specifies the hardware port, such as /dev/term/a, that the printer is
connected to.
Printer Type:
Specifies the generic name for a type of
printer. Supported printer types correspond to
items listed in the /usr/share/lib/terminfo
directories. Examples are PostScript, Daisy, and Diablo.
File Contents:
Specifies the format of files that can be
printed without any special filtering by the
print software. PostScript is the default and is
probably correct most of the time.
Fault Notification:
Specifies how the superuser will be notified in
case of a printer error.
Options: Default Printer: If checked, designates this printer
as the default printer for printing jobs from the computer on which
you are running Oracle Solaris Print Manager. If you are using a naming
service, this printer will be the default printer for the naming
service, also.
Note that this is the last place the print subsystem looks to
determine where a particular print job will be printed; the
destination option of the lp command is the first place looked, and
other environment variables are checked before this one. See the man
page for printers.conf(4) for a full explanation of the search order.
Options: Banner: Specifies whether a banner
page will be printed between jobs.
"Aways Print Banner" stipulates that a banner will always be printed
and may not be turned off by the user.
"User Selectable - Default=on" stipulates that a banner will be printed
unless the user selects
to turn the banner off.
"Never Print Banner" stipulates that a banner will never be printed
and may not be turned on by the user.
User Access List:
Specifies the print clients that can
print to this printer. By default, all print
clients have access to this printer, as designated by the word
"all" in the list.
If you want to restrict its use to individual users, enter a user name
in the text field below the list and click Add. Other legal constructs
are system-name!login-ID (user "login-ID" on system "system-name"),
system-name!all (all users on system "system-name"), and all!login-ID
(user "login-ID" on all systems). Use the lpadmin(1M) command to deny
access to users.
To delete a user from the list, select the user in the list and click
Delete.
OK: Apply changes and dismiss the window.
Apply: Apply the changes and leave the window displayed.
Reset: Reset all fields to last Apply
Cancel: Dismiss the window.
