printer port setup



does anybody know how to add a printer from network in solaris 10 using ip settings? according to our it support, in order to add this printer in windows xp we introduce it as a local printer which is connected to a port with an ip address, like 128.79.44.110. anyway i don't know how it can be done through unix.


cheers,

thanks for your suggestion. however, as i'm new to unix both are difficult for me. so how i can enter my printer port ip address into printers.conf file?


quote:
if you want the easy way --- edit /etc/printers.conf directly after you read "man printers.conf"

if you want the not so easy way --- see "man lpadmin"

add the printer's name and ip address into /etc/hosts and then edit the /etc/printers.conf file accordingly ... btw, try vi ...
