I see, thank you for the clarification Norm. So we would do this on our print server for all of our networked printers.
For our "client" Solaris machines, that will be sending the jobs to this server, can we also use the lpadmin command to setup the printers -- but instead of the printer name, specify the server, print queue name, and port 631?

I am resending to cc the list in case others are interested. The problem is that the IPP listener only interacts with local print queues in Solaris 10. Your print queue configuration has printing going directly to your network attached printers instead of through a local queue. If you create local print queues for your printers, you should be able to print from IPP. Ex: # lpadmin -p savprinter -v /dev/null -m netstandard -o protocol=tcp -o dest=savprinter:9100 # accept savprinter # enable savprinter # lp -d savprinter /etc/motd Some variation of this should work for you. You can also create the queues via the printmgr(1m) though the menus "printer" -> "New Network Printer...". If you have any further problems, let me know. -Norm Maurice Jeter wrote: > Hello All, > > We have a Solaris server that print jobs are generated on, which are > sent to a (Solaris) print server via lp.
