If the physical printer has a JetDirect card, you can use JetAdmin to
configure a local queue directly to the printer.

I can't offer instrutins on how to set up Samba. I've never
done it. I haven't set up the LPD print service on Windows
machines either. But the usual web sites should have the
steps. (I'm guessing www.samba.org and the Microsoft Knowledgebase)
If you install and configure the Windows LPD service, you'll
want to test that it really is accepting print connections.
(it's pretty common to set it up, but it's not accepting
connections yet) On the Solaris machine, type:
telnet win2000 515
Replace "win2000" with the IP address or hostname of the Win2000
box. Look for the "Connected to ..." and "Escape character is ..."
messages. If you get them, then your Win2000 box is accepting the
print connections. If you get the "Connection refused" error, the
Win2000 box isn't ready yet.
After the Win2000 box is ready, the Solaris config is simple:
lpadmin -p solaris-name -s win2000\!win-name
Replace "solaris-name" with the name you want to use for the printer
in your Solaris lp or lpr commands. Replace "win2000" with the IP
address or hostname of the Win2000 box. Replace "win-name" with the
name that the Windows LPD print service knows for the printer.
"Solaris-name" and "win-name" can be the same name, or they can be
different. Solaris can handle it either way, as long as both names
are legal. (e.g. no whitespace in the name)

There are no spaces in the "-a bsdaddr=" section, but there is a space after
"Solaris". The <localqueuename> can match the <win2kqueuename> if you want
OR it can be some other unique queuename.
This assumes that the lpd print server service is installed and turned on on
the Win2k side. Windows NT did not install this service by default, but I'm
not sure about Win2k.

1. Printing from Solaris to Novell print queues
I need to be able to print to a Novell print queue from our Sun Sparc 5
workstations. We currently have a Novell server running Netware 4.1, and
our Sun Sparc's are running Solaris 2.4. What needs to be configured on
the Novell side to allow me to print from Solaris?
Both Sun's and the Novell server are running TCP/IP and are in the same
subnet / domain.
Thanks,
Perry Minyard
