Do there exist any scripts that can create the appropriate files for
printing with solaris 2 (/etc/lp/*) given an /etc/printcap file. I've
got fair number of printers, and I really don't want to be running lpadmin
or admintool for each one of them. I figure I can't be the first one
to want to do this, and thought I'd ask how others have done before
re-inventing the wheel...

If you use the SunSoft Print Client software instead of the /etc/lp
goo (which in general I'd highly recommend) then it comes with a
script that will convert an /etc/printcap file into a
/etc/printers.conf file, which is what the SSPC stuff needs.
You can download the SSPC software from
http://www.sun.com/smcc/solaris-migration/SSPC/index.html. Note the
recent patch for SSPC, 103182, unfortunately is currently only
available with a support contract, and does not yet appear to be
incorporated into the downloadable tar archive.
1. Help: /etc/printcap for EPSON LP-9000 printer ( postscript printer)
Hi,
I tried to get my EPSON LP-9000 printer worked but failed. Although a lot of
efforts have been given to read through a lot of net printing-howto, I could
not solve the problem. I think I need a /etc/printcap entry for EPSON LP-9000
which is also a postscript printer, and maybe a filter script also needed. Has
anyone ever succeeded in printing or can give me some information on it by
sending email to me?
Thanks in advance.
