Very Computer

It seems the "Printer Name" field is local to the Solaris box and doesn't
get exported to the printer server and I can't find from the manuals how
to specify different remote printers. So is it possible to do it or
am I missing something?

Thanks in advance,
Kai

% lpadmin -p local_printer -s remote_machine!remote_printer

Enable the printing with the "lpc" command. Don't forget to add your
machine in the /etc/hosts.equiv on the remote machine to allow printing
and all should work fine.
