I've configured two printers using the bundled print management under Solaris 10 U5 c/w ppd files for ricoh printers.
bash-3.00$ lpstat -t scheduler is running system default printer: R2045-05-RPCS device for R2045-05-RPCS: /dev/null device for R7000-04-RPCS: /dev/null R2045-05-RPCS accepting requests since 22 April 2008 1:35:13 PM R7000-04-RPCS accepting requests since 22 April 2008 2:59:08 PM printer R2045-05-RPCS idle. enabled since 22 April 2008 1:35:13 PM. available. printer R7000-04-RPCS idle. enabled since 22 April 2008 2:59:08 PM. available. bash-3.00$ My problem is that many applications under JDS don't list the available printers. It's usually just "Generic Postscript" (Gnome pdf viewer, Evolution) or "Postscript/default" (firefox) which then prints to the default printer. The only exception is staroffice which lists "Generic Printer" and the installed printers. Any fix for this? Also what's the print system we can expect in the future? I see mention of CUPS and Presto printing in the discussion list. Thanks Peter Arnold This message posted from opensolaris.org
