I have installed b57 and I notice client printing does not work correctly.
I have spotted two problems when talking to my Solaris 10 server.
The following setup works 100% correctly on Solaris 10 & 9 clients.
(1) Using files display errors but works
(2) Using ldap display errors and fails
1) FILES
% grep printers /etc/nsswitch.conf
printers: files
medusa% cat /etc/printers.conf
#
ps133:\
:bsdaddr=rhea,ps133,Solaris:
medusa% lpstat -a
ps133 not accepting requests since Mon Mar 12 21:37:45 2007
unknown reason
medusa% lp -d ps133 /etc/motd
request id is ps133-590 (1 file(s))
medusa% lpstat -o
ps133-590 andrew 53 Mar 12 21:38
medusa% lpstat -a
ps133 not accepting requests since Mon Mar 12 21:38:18 2007
unknown reason
2) LDAP
medusa% grep printer /etc/nsswitch.conf
printers: ldap
medusa% lpstat -a
Failed to get printer info for ps133: can't connect to spooler for ps133: No
such file or directory
medusa% lpget -n ldap ps133
ps133:
dn=printer-uri=ps133,ou=printers,dc=dcs,dc=bbk,dc=ac,dc=uk
objectClass=top,printerService,printerAbstract,sunPrinter
bsdaddr=lpserver,ps133,Solaris
user-equivalence=true
description=SG printer
sun-printer-kvp=user-equivalence=true,description=SG printer
printer-uri=ps133
medusa% lp -d ps133 /etc/motd
ps133: can't connect to spooler for ps133: No such file or directory
medusa% lpstat -o
Failed to get job list: can't connect to spooler for ps133: No such file or
directory
3) Just to prove it works
solaris10_11/06% lpstat -a ps133
ps133 accepting requests since Mar 12 21:54 2007
Any ideas?
Andrew
