Solaris 2.6: access to remote printers, change of the remote host

Post by Daniel Brunne » Fri, 31 Jul 1998 04:00:00



Hi,

Is there an easy way to change the remote print server for all the local
printer definition ? Is it possible to definie two remote servers for a
local printer, so that the printing is redirected to the second host in
case that the primary host fails ?

Regards,
Daniel

Stop lpsched, edit /etc/printers.cofn (do a global substitute) restart lpsched.

There's no way to do printer fail over, except by defining and printing to
printer classes.
