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 Make: Specifies the printer make, or manufacturer. This information is on the printer and/or in the documentation that is delivered with the printer.

Printer Model: Specifies the printer model. This information is found on the printer and/or in the documentation that is delivered with the printer.

Printer Driver: Specifies the printer driver to use with this printer. The label name followed in parentheses by one of the following letters representing the repository in which the printer driver information resides: U (user supplied printer information), A (administrator supplied printer information), V (vendor supplied printer information), or S (system supplied printer information), precedes the name of the Printer Driver.

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.
Help: Display help for the current window or dialog.
