Hello All,
 
We have a Solaris server that print jobs are generated on, which are
sent to a (Solaris) print server via lp.  From here, the jobs are sent
to the network printers.
 
The problem we have is that if one printer goes offline or is
unresponsive, all the print jobs for that printer -- and other printers
-- get hung up.
 
So we are looking into using IPP to see if that works better.   The
problem is that there isn't much documentation on using IPP.   Using the
Sun documentation on it, we were able to setup an Apache based IPP
server and have the listener service running (on port 631) and
everything looks ok.  However, we cannot figure out how to send jobs to
this server, via IPP, from another Solaris box.    Can anyone point me
to additional documention, and/or examples?
 
This is the documentation we've been using:
 
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/articles/using_ipp.jsp
 
But we just can't tell from this, if we actually have our server and
clients configured correctly  for IPP.  (We are able to send jobs using
lp, via port 515 however).
 
Interestingly, we've talked to two Sun engineers on the topic, and they
had no idea.   
 
Thank You
 

Maurice Jeter
