Do the following to select a naming service for Oracle Solaris Print Manager or to change from using a naming service to using no naming service.

When you select a naming service you are specifying where Oracle Solaris Print Manager will retrieve printer information from, and where changes made in Print Manager will be made. If a naming service is selected, additions and deletions will be made in the printing configuration database for the selected naming service. If you choose "files," the /etc/printers.conf file will be used to determine which printers are available, and changes will be made there.

A dialog is displayed, asking you to choose a naming service.

2. Choose a naming service (or "files," if no naming service is to be used) and click OK.

The Oracle Solaris Print Manager main window is displayed, listing all the accessible printers, which includes all printers in the selected naming service's printer configuration database.
