This chapter describes the typical printing tasks that a system administrator might perform on a daily, weekly, or occasional basis. The printing services and tools that you can use to perform these tasks are covered in each of the subsequent task sections of this chapter.For the step-by-step procedures that are associated with administering printing services and printers, see the following task maps:Administering Printers by Using Solaris Print Manager (Task Map) Administering Printers and the Print Scheduler by Using LP Print Commands (Task Map) Setting Printer Definitions by Using LP Print Commands (Task Map) Administering Print Requests by Using the LP Print Commands (Task Map) Administering Printers That Are Associated With PPD Files (Task Map) For overview information, see Chapter 1, Introduction to Printing in the Solaris Operating System.For information about how to set up printing services see Chapter 3, Setting Up Printing Services (Tasks).For information about setting up printers, see Chapter 4, Setting Up Printers (Tasks)For information about how to administer printing services and printers by using printing protocols, see Chapter 6, Administering Printers That Use Network Printing Protocols (Tasks) After you set up print servers and print clients, you might need to perform these administration tasks frequently:Delete a printer Delete remote printer access Check the status of printers Restart the print scheduler A local printer is a printer that has a print queue that has been defined on a system that is local to you. A remote printer is a printer that has a print queue that is defined anywhere but your local system. These terms do not have anything to do with whether the printer is physically attached to a system or to the network. The terms strictly define where the print queue was configured, which is important to note because where the print queue is configured determines the print server for that printer. One print server can support all the printers at a particular site. A network‐attached printer is a hardware device that is connected directly to the network. A network printer transfers data directly over the network to the output device. The printer or network connection hardware has its own system name and IP address.Network printers often have software support provided by the printer vendor. If your printer has printer vendor-supplied software, then use the printer vendor software. If the network printer vendor does not provide software support, Sun supplied software is available. This software provides generic support for network-attached printers. However, this software is not capable of providing full access to all possible printer capabilities.The terms “attached” and “network” refer to the way printers are connected to the world. Neither of these terms imply local or remote. Sometimes, these terms are used interchangeably, due to the fact that local printers and attached printers tend to be the same. However, the terms local and remote refer to print queue configuration. The terms, attached and network, refer to the physical connection of the printer hardware only, not how the print queue was configured.For information about setting up a directly attached and network printers, see Setting Up Printers on a Print Server (Task Map).For information about using over-the-wire network printing protocols for printing on the network, see Using Printing Protocols in the Solaris Release.print requestsscheduling Each print client communicates directly with a print sever over the network. The communication is done between the requesting command, such as lp, lpstat, cancel, lpr, lpq, or lprm, and the print service on the print server. This communication reduces the print system overhead on client–only systems, improving scalability, performance and accuracy of data.Print servers listen for print requests with the Internet services daemon (inetd). Upon hearing a request for print service from the network, the inetd daemon starts a program called the protocol adaptor (in.lpd). The protocol adaptor translates the print request and communicates it to the print spooler, and returns the results to the requester. This protocol adaptor starts on demand and exits when it has serviced the network request. This process eliminates idle system overhead for printing. This process also eliminates any additional system configuration for network printing support as was the case in previous versions of Solaris printing software. printer definitionssetting setting printer definitions Setting definitions for the printers on your network is an ongoing task that lets you provide a more effective print environment for users. For example, you can assign printer descriptions for all your site's printers to help users find where a printer is located. Or, you can define a class of printers to provide the fastest turnaround for print requests. For information on setting up printer definitions and planning printers on your network, see Chapter 2, Planning for Printing in the Solaris Operating System (Tasks). PPD filesPostScript Printer Description files printer supportfeatures of Raster Image ProcessorRIP Specific modifications have been made to incorporate the RIP feature and PPD files into the Solaris print subsystem. Two interface scripts, standard_foomatic, and netstandard_foomatic, are available. These interface scripts provide the generic Solaris interface between the Solaris spooler and the back-end process of the Solaris print server.For more information, seeAdministering Printers That Are Associated With PPD Files (Task Map) and Using PPD Files To Set Up Printers. Depending on your site's requirements and the types of printers you have on the network, you might have to set up and administer printer-specific features of the LP print service. For example, you can assign different print wheels, filters, and forms to different printers. For background information and step-by-step instructions on how to set up character sets, print filters, forms, and fonts, see Chapter 7, Customizing Printing Services and Printers (Tasks). The following tables lists categories of printer administration tasks you can perform by using the Solaris Print Manager GUI. Note that you cannot perform all printer administration tasks by using Solaris Print Manager. For some of these tasks, for example, stopping and starting the print scheduler, you must use LP print commands. For more information, see Administering Print Requests by Using the LP Print Commands (Task Map).Task Description For Instructions Delete a printer or access to a printer by using Solaris Print Manager Use Solaris Print Manager to delete local and remote printers and remove printer access. However, you cannot move queued print requests to another printer by using Solaris Print Manager. How to Delete a Printer by Using Solaris Print Manager Set or reset miscellaneous printer definitions by using Solaris Print Manager Add, modify, delete a printer, and add printer access by using the Solaris Print Manager GUI tool. Many of the same options that can be used with the lpadmin command are also available in Solaris Print Manager.

Verify that the printer has been deleted:# lpstat -p printer-name Task Description For Instructions Delete a printer and remove printer access. If a printer needs to be replaced or moved to a different location, you can delete information about the printer from the print-client How to Delete a Printer and Remove Printer Access by Using LP Print Commands Check the status of printers. Use the lpstat command to check the status of all printers or a specific printer. This command allows you to determine which printers are available for use and enables you to examine the characteristics of those printers. How to Check the Status of Printers Stop the print scheduler. If the print scheduler stops accepting print requests, you might need to stop and restart the print scheduler. How to Stop the Print Scheduler Restart the print scheduler. After you stop the print scheduler, you will need to restart the print scheduler, so the printer can begin accepting requests. How to Restart the Print Scheduler Start the print scheduler with options. There are two ways to pass options to the print scheduler under the Solaris Management Facility (SMF). You can set options for the duration of a call, or you can set options to remain over a system boot. How to Set Print Option Values Only for the Duration of a CallHow to Set Printer Option Values That Remain Over a System Reboot Use this procedure when you remove a printer from service, and you want to remove the printer access from the print clients. Then, remove the printer information from the print server. print clientdeleting access to printers (how to)Log in as superuser, lp, or assume an equivalent role on a print client that has access to the printer you want to delete.

This example also shows how to delete the print client terra from the print server.terra# lpadmin -x luna Removed “luna”. terra# lpstat -p luna -l jupiter# lpadmin -x luna Removed “terra”. jupiter# lpstat -p luna -l printer status checking printer status Many routine printer administration tasks require information about the status of the LP print service or a specific printer. For example, you can determine which printers are available for use. You can also examine the characteristics of those printers. You can use the lpstat command to find status information about the LP print service or a specific printer.If a PPD file was used to create or modify a print queue, the specific PPD file is listed in the lpstat output. If a PPD file was not specified when the print queue was created, the PPD entry in the lpstat output is none. status of printershow to check Log in to any system on the network. Check the status of printers.Only the most commonly used options are shown here. For other options, see thelpstat1 man page.$ lpstat [-d] [-p] printer-name [-D] [-l] [-t]dShows the system's default printer. p printer-nameShows if a printer is active or idle, when the printer was enabled or disabled, and whether the printer is accepting print requests.You can specify multiple printer names with this command. Use a space or a comma to separate printer names. If you use spaces, enclose the list of printer names in quotation marks. If you don't specify printer-name, the status of all printers is displayed. DShows the description of the specified printer-name. lShows the characteristics of the specified printer-name. tShows status information about the LP print service, including the status of all printers, such as whether they are active and whether they are accepting print requests.

However, the print scheduler might sometimes stop running on a system, so print requests stop being accepted or printed. The lpadmin command automatically enables the lpsched service when local printers are added to the system and disables it when the last local printer is removed. The following procedures describe how to stop and restart the print scheduler. If a print request was printing when the print scheduler stopped running, the print request will be printed in its entirety when you restart the print scheduler. svcadm disable application/print/serverstopping the print scheduler print scheduler stopping Log in as superuser, lp, or assume an equivalent role on the print server.

For more information about the difference between starting the print scheduler by using the /usr/lib/lpsched command or by using the svcadm enable application/print server command, see Starting the Print Scheduler With Options. There are two ways to pass options to the print scheduler by using SMF:By modifying option values only for the duration of a call.Use the /usr/lib/lpsched command with the appropriate options when you only want to pass options to the print scheduler for the duration of a call. Before setting options, see the lpsched1M man page for more information about these default values and reasons for changing them. By maintaining option values over a system reboot, or if the print scheduler is restarted.The SMF manifest for the print server contains properties that are utilized by the print server start-up script. These property values are passed on to the print scheduler and represent the options, which are set by using the svccfg command.The properties are as follows:lpsched/num_filters lpsched/num_notifiers lpsched/fd_limit lpsched/reserved_fds Any options that are not set with the svccfg command will use the default values that are in the print scheduler. For more information about using the svccfg command, see the svccfg1M man page. Become superuser, lp, or assume an equivalent role.Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services. Set option values.# /usr/lib/lpsched option valuef num_filtersSpecifies the number of concurrent slow filters that can be run on a print server. n num_notifiersSpecifies the number of concurrent notification processes that can run on a print server. p fd_limitSpecifies the file descriptor resource limit for the lpsched process. r reserved_fdsSpecifies the number of file descriptors that the scheduler reserves for internal communications under heavy load. This example shows how to set the number of filters to 2. The remaining options will use the defaults that are in the print scheduler.# /usr/lib/lpsched -f 2To use the default options that are in the print scheduler, run the /usr/lib/lpsched command without any options.Note that starting the print scheduler by using the /usr/lib/lpsched command does not utilize the values that are set with the svccfg command.

Verify that the Description information is correct.# lpstat -p printer-name -l The following example shows how to add a printer description for the printer luna.# lpadmin -p luna -D "Nathans office" default printersetting with lpadmin command (overview) printer destinationsetting with lpadmin command (overview) You can specify a default printer destination for a user so that the user does not need to type the printer name when using the print commands. Before you can designate a printer as the default, the printer must be known to the print service on the system.Set a user's default printer destination by setting any of the following:LPDEST environment variable PRINTER environment variable The _default variable in the user's .PRINTERS file The system's default printer by using the lpadmin d command or Solaris Print Manager When an application provides a printer destination, that destination is used by the print service, regardless of whether you have set a system's default printer destination. If an application doesn't provide a printer destination or if you don't provide a printer name when using a print command, the print command searches for the default printer in a specific order. The following table shows the search order for a system's default printer destination.Search Order Using /usr/bin/lp Command Using LPD-Based Compatibility Commands (lpr, lpq, and lprm) First LPDEST variable PRINTER variable Second PRINTER variable LPDEST variable Third System's default printer System's default printer default printersetting with lpadmin command (how to)Log in as superuser, lp, or assume an equivalent role on the system where you want to set a default printer. lpadmin commandsetting default printer with (how to)Set the system's default printer.# lpadmin -d [printer-name]-d printer-name specifies the name of the printer you are assigning as the system's default printer.

A banner page also has a modifiable title to help users identify their printouts. banner pagesreasons to turn offBanner pages make identifying the owner of a print job easy, which is especially helpful when many users submit jobs to the same printer. However, printing banner pages uses more paper and might be unnecessary if a printer has only a few users. In some cases, printing banner pages is undesirable. For example, if a printer has special paper or forms mounted, such as paycheck forms, printing banner pages might cause problems. By default, the print service forces banner pages to be printed. However, you can give users a choice to turn off printing of a banner page when they submit a print request. You can set this choice through the lpadmin command or through Solaris Print Manager. If you give the users a choice, they have to use the o banner option to turn off banner page printing.Also, if you don't need or want banner pages, you can turn off banner pages so that they are never printed. You can turn off banner page printing by using the lpadmin command or through Solaris Print Manager.Command Used Banner Page Printing Override? lpadmin -p printer o banner ORlpadmin -p printer o banner=always Required and printed If you are a regular user and use p -o nobanner, the request is printed. However, the nobanner argument is ignored.If you are superuser (root), or another privileged user, the nobanner argument is honored. lpadmin -p printer o nobannerlpadmin -p printer o banner=optional On by default, but can be disabled on a per request basis with the lp -o nobanner command Not applicable. lpadmin -p printer o banner=never Disabled No, if you are a regular user. If you are superuser (root), or the lp user, you can override this option to cause the generation of a burst page. banner pagesmaking optional (how to)Log in as superuser, lp, or assume an equivalent role on the print server.

Verify that banner printing is turned off. # lpstat -p printer-name -lThe command output contains the line Banner not printed. Submit a print request to the printer to ensure that a banner page does not print. The following example shows how to disable the printing of banner pages on the printer luna.# lpadmin -p luna -o banner=never printer class class (printer) The LP print service enables you to group several locally attached printers into one class. You can perform this task only by using the lpadmin c command.After you set up a printer class, users can then specify that class, rather than individual printers, as the destination for a print request. The first printer in the class that is available to print is used. The result is faster turnaround because printers are kept as busy as possible.No default printer classes are known to the print service. Printer classes exist only if you define them.Here are some ways you could define printer classes:By printer type – For example, a PostScript printer. By location – For example, a printer located on the 5th floor. By work group or department – For example, the accounting department. Alternatively, a class might contain several printers that are used in a particular order. The LP print service always checks for an available printer in the order in which printers were added to a class. Therefore, if you want a high-speed printer to be accessed first, add the high-speed printer to the class before you add a low-speed printer. As a result, the high-speed printer handles as many print requests as possible. The low-speed printer is reserved as a backup printer when the high-speed printer is in use.Print requests are balanced between printers in a class only for local printers. Class names, similar to printer names, must be unique and can contain a maximum of 14 alphanumeric characters and underscores.You are not obligated to define printer classes. You should add printer classes only if you determine that using them would benefit users on the network. printer classdefining with lpadmin command (how to)class (printer)defining with lpadmin command (how to)Log in as superuser, lp, or assume an equivalent role on the print server. lpadmin commanddefining printer class with (how to)Define a class of printers. # lpadmin -p printer-name -c printer-classp printer-nameSpecifies the name of the printer you are adding to a class of printers. c printer-classSpecifies the name of a class of printers.

With the lpadmin A command or with Solaris Print Manager, you can select any of the following methods to receive printer fault notification:A message to the terminal on which root is logged in Electronic mail to root No notification However, the lpadmin A command offers you an additional option of receiving a message specified by the program of your choice. The lpadmin A command also enables you to selectively turn off notification for an error that you already know about.Unless you specify a program to deliver fault notification, the content of the fault alert is a predefined message that states that the printer has stopped printing and needs to be fixed.fault notification (printer)values for alertsThe following table lists the alert values that you can set for a printer with the lpadmin A command. These alert values can also be set for print wheels, font cartridges, and forms. Value for A alert Description 'mail [username]' Sends the alert message by email to root or lp on the print server, or the specified username, which is a name of a user. 'write [user-name]' Sends the alert message to the root or lp console window on the print server, or to the console window of the specified username, which is a name of a user. The specified user must be logged in to the print server to get the alert message. 'command' Runs the specified command file for each alert. The environment variables and current directory are saved and restored when the file is executed. quiet Stops alerts until the fault is fixed. Use this valve when you, root or a specified user, receive repeated alerts. none Does not send any alerts. This value is the default if you don't specify fault alerts for a printer. alertsfor printer faults (how to)Log in as superuser, lp, or assume an equivalent role on the print server. lpadmin commandsetting printer fault alerts with (how to)Set fault alerts for a printer. # lpadmin -p printer-name -A alert [-W minutes]p printer-nameSpecifies the name of the printer for which you are specifying an alert for printer faults.

The LP print service will not continue to use a printer that has a fault. In addition to alerts for printer faults, you can also provide alerts that instruct you to mount print wheels, font cartridges, and forms when print requests require them.You can define the fault recovery options for a printer only by using the lpadmin F command. This task is not available in Solaris Print Manager.Printer faults can be as simple as running out of paper or needing to replace a toner cartridge. More serious problems can include complete printer failure or power failure.After you fix a printer fault, the print request that was active when the fault occurred begins printing in one of three ways:Starts printing from the beginning Continues printing from the top of the page where printing stopped After you enable the printer, continues printing from the top of the page where the printing stopped The LP print service requires a separate print filter to continue printing from the top of a page where the printing stopped. This print filter records the control sequences set by the default print filters. The printer uses these control sequences to track page boundaries. You will be notified by the LP print service if recovery cannot proceed with the specified print filter. For information about writing filters, see How to Create a New Print Filter. If you want printing to resume immediately after a printer fault is fixed, enable the printer by using the enable command. printersfault recovery (overview)The following table lists the fault recovery values that you can set for a printer by using the lpadmin F command. Value for F recover-options Description beginning After a fault recovery, printing restarts from the beginning of the file. continue print filtersrequired for printer fault recoveryAfter a fault recovery, printing starts at the top of the page where the printing stopped.

For example, you can prevent some users from printing on a high-quality printer to minimize expense. To restrict user access to printers, you create allow and deny lists by using the lpadmin u command on the print server. Solaris Print Manager enables you to create only allow lists. If you create neither list, a printer is available to all users who can access the printer.An allow list contains the names of users who are allowed access to the specified printer. A deny list contains the names of users denied access to the specified printer.The rules for allow and deny lists are explained in the following table:Allow and Deny List Rule User Consequence Do not create allow and deny lists. Or, if you leave both lists empty. All users can access the printer. Specify all in the allow list. All users can access the printer. Specify all in the deny list All users, except root and lp user on the server, are denied access to the printer. Make any entry in the allow list. The deny list is ignored. Only users who are listed can access the printer. Create a deny list, but you do not create an allow list or you leave the allow list empty. Users who are listed in the deny list are denied access to the printer. Because the print server is responsible for controlling access to the printer, allow and deny lists can only be created on the print server. If you create allow and deny lists, the print server will exclusively control user access to printers.allow listfor user access to printers (overview)printersallow list (overview)deny listfor user access to printers (overview)printersdeny list (overview)The following table lists the values that you can add to an allow list or a deny list to limit user access to a printer.

Use the enable and disable commands to control whether a printer prints requests or stops printing requests that are in the print queue. How to Enable or Disable a Printer Accept or reject print requests for a printer. Use the accept and reject commands to turn on or turn off a print queue that stores requests to be printed. How to Accept or Reject Print Requests for a Printer Cancel a print request. Use the can use the cancel command to cancel print requests in one of the following three ways:Cancel requests by request identification number (request ID) Cancel requests from a specific user on all printers or specific printers Cancel the job currently printing How to Cancel a Print Request Cancel a print request from a specific user. Cancel the request for a user by using the cancel -u command and specifying that user. How to Cancel a Print Request From a Specific User Move print requests to another printer. Move or cancel any requests that are currently queued to a printer. You can use the lpmove command to move individual or all print requests to another local printer. How to Move Print Requests to Another Printer Change the priority of a print request. Change the priority of a print request in one of the following ways:Put a print request on hold if it has not finished printing. Move a print request to the head of the queue. Change the priority of a job still waiting to be printed. How to Change the Priority of a Print Request When a user submits a print request from a print client, the print request is added to a queue on the print server before it is sent to the printer. While a print request is in the queue, you can cancel or gain status information on the request from a client system. You must log in to the print server to move, hold, resume, or change the priorities of print requests with LP print service commands. These actions can help you keep printing services operating smoothly.print requestschanging priority of (overview)priority of print requestschangingpriority of print requests (overview)The following table lists the values for changing the priority of a print request by using the lp H command.Value for H change-priority Description hold Places the print request on hold until you cancel the request or instruct the LP print service to resume printing the request. resume Places a print request that has been on hold back in the queue. The request is printed according to its priority and placement in the queue. If you place on hold a print job that is already printing, resume places the print request at the head of the queue so that it becomes the next request printed. immediate Places a print request at the head of the queue. If a request is already printing, you can put the request on hold to allow the next request to print immediately. printerschecking status of print requests print requests Log in on any system on the network.

When you disable a printer, the printer stops printing requests in the queue. However, requests are still added to the queue. You must set the printer to reject print requests so that requests are not added to the queue. For information about rejecting print requests, see Accepting or Rejecting Print Requests. A printer is enabled to print and accepts print requests when the printer is added by using Solaris Print Manager. Solaris Print Manager doesn't provide any additional printer processing management.You must enable the printer whenever it has been disabled, which can happen when a printer fault occurs. When you enable a printer, it prints requests from the print queue until the queue is empty, even if the print service rejects additional requests for the print queue. The following figure shows the point at which the processing of print requests is interrupted when a printer is disabled.

When you use the reject command, the print queue for a specified printer is turned off. No new print requests can enter the queue on the print server. However, all print requests that are in the queue are still printed. You must disable the printer if you want it to stop printing requests that are already in the queue. The following table compares the functions of the accept, reject, enable, and disable commands.accept command reject command Command Function accept Accepts print requests that are sent to the print queue. disable Stops printing requests that are currently in the print queue. enable Prints the requests that are in the print queue. reject Rejects print requests that are sent to the print queue. If a print request is rejected, the LP print service writes or mails a message to the user who submitted the request. the message states that print requests are not being accepted for the specified printer.You can also specify a reason for not accepting requests through the command line. The reason is displayed on a user's system when a user tries to check the printer's queue. The following figure shows the point at which the processing of print requests is interrupted when a print queue rejects print requests.

You can cancel a print request only under the following conditions:You are the user who submitted the request and you are logged in on the system from which you submitted the request. You are the user who submitted the request on any client system and the print server has the “user-equivalence” option configured for the printer in its /etc/printers.conf file. You are logged in as superuser, lp, or have assumed an equivalent role on the print server. To cancel a specific request, you need to know its request ID. The request ID contains the name of the printer, a dash, and the number of the print request.

Then, move or cancel any requests that are currently queued to the printer. You can use the lpmove command to move individual or all print requests to another local printer.Request IDs are not changed when you move print requests, so users can still find their requests. Print requests that have requirements, such as a specific file content type or form, that cannot be met by the newly specified printer cannot be moved. These print requests must be canceled. print requests moving print requests (how to) To move all print requests from one printer to another printer, you do not need to know the request IDs.

Modify the default values that are defined in PPD files that are associated with print queues by using the lpadmin command with the o option. How to Set Default Values for Print Queues That Are Associated With PPD Files Determine if a PPD file was used to create a print queue. Use the lpstat command to determine if a PPD file was used to create a print queue, or if a PPD file is associated with a print queue. Determining Whether a PPD File Is Associated With a Print Queue During the process of setting up a print queue, a PPD file that describes the print queue's capabilities can be associated with that print queue. Often, the default values that are described in the PPD file do not match the preferred settings for your site. For example, you might want the duplex feature always turned on, or you might want to always print to A4 sized paper. To modify these default values, you can edit the PPD file directly. However, the easiest and fastest method is to make the changes by using the lpadmin command with the o option.Some common PPD file values include:PageSizeExamples of available choices include:Letter Legal A4 B5 Env10 InputSlotExamples of available choices include:Tray1 Tray2 Tray3 Manual DuplexExamples of available choices include:None DuplexNoTumble DuplexTumble This procedure shows how to set default values for a print queue that uses PPD files to describe its capabilities. Check the PPD file first to determine which values can be overridden. To view the PPD file, use the more or less command, or open the file in a text editor.For example:% more /etc/lp/ppd/print-queue.ppd Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands.
