31Use the Modify Printer Properties dialog to modify an installed
32printer. Note that you can modify the Description field only if this
33is not an attached printer.  You can also check or uncheck the Default
34Printer box.
35
36<p>
37
38<b> Printer Name:</b> Cannot be modified.
39
40<p> 
41
42<b> Printer Server:</b> Cannot be modified. 
43This is the computer you have selected to act
44as the server for print actions. You must be logged on to this
45computer and be running Oracle Solaris Print Manager on it.  
46
47<p> 
48
49<b> Description:</b> 
50    [Optional] Describes the printer, including the printer type and 
51    location, possibly, or provides other information about the
52    printer. 
53
54<p> 
55
56<b> Printer Port:</b> Cannot be modified. 
57Specifies the hardware port, such as /dev/term/a, that the printer is
58connected to.  
59
60<p>
61
62<b> Printer Type:</b> 
63    Specifies the generic name for a type of
64    printer. Supported printer types correspond to
65    items listed in the /usr/share/lib/terminfo
66    directories.  Examples are PostScript, Daisy, and Diablo. 
67
68<p>
69
70<b> File Contents:</b> 
71    Specifies the format of files that can be
72    printed without any special filtering by the
73    print software. PostScript is the default and is
74    probably correct most of the time. 
75<p>
76
77<b> Fault Notification:</b> 
78    Specifies how the superuser will be notified in
79    case of a printer error.
80
81<p>
82
83<b> Options: Default Printer:</b> If checked, designates this printer
84as the default printer for printing jobs from the computer on which
85you are running Oracle Solaris Print Manager. If you are using a naming
86service, this printer will be the default printer for the naming
87service, also.
88
89<p>
90
91Note that this is the last place the print subsystem looks to
92determine where a particular print job will be printed; the
93destination option of the lp command is the first place looked, and
94other environment variables are checked before this one. See the man
95page for printers.conf(4) for a full explanation of the search order.
96
97<p>
98
99<b> Options: Banner:</b> Specifies whether a banner 
100page will be printed between jobs. 
101<br>
102<br>
103"Aways Print Banner" stipulates that a banner will always be printed 
104and may not be turned off by the user. 
105<br>
106"User Selectable - Default=on" stipulates that a banner will be printed 
107unless the user selects 
108to turn the banner off.  
109<br>
110"Never Print Banner" stipulates that a banner will never be printed 
111and may not be turned on by the user.
112
113<p>
114
115<b> User Access List:</b> 
116Specifies the print clients that can
117    print to this printer. By default, all print
118    clients have access to this printer, as designated by the word
119"all" in the list. 
120
121<p>
122
123If you want to restrict its use to individual users, enter a user name
124in the text field below the list and click Add. Other legal constructs
125are system-name!login-ID (user "login-ID" on system "system-name"),
126system-name!all (all users on system "system-name"), and all!login-ID
127(user "login-ID" on all systems). Use the lpadmin(1M) command to deny
128access to users.
