Use the Modify Printer Properties dialog to modify an installed printer. Note that you can modify the Description field only if this is not an attached printer. You can also check or uncheck the Default Printer box.

Printer Name: Cannot be modified.

Printer Server: Cannot be modified. 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.

Description: [Optional] Describes the printer, including the printer type and location, possibly, or provides other information about the printer.

Printer Port: Cannot be modified. 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.
Help: Display help for the current window or dialog.
