If you create a queue with the printmgr(1m), it will run lpadmin for you
to create the queue with all of the necessary options
network attached as host "hp"
# lpadmin -p queue -v /dev/null -TPS -Ipostscript -m
netstandard_foomatic -n .../HP-Color_LaserJet_3500-hpijs.ppd -o
dest=hp:9100 -o protocol=tcp
or if it's connected to your USB bus at /dev/printers/1
# lpadmin -p queue -v /dev/printers/1 -TPS -Ipostscript -m
standard_foomatic -n .../HP-Color_LaserJet_3500-hpijs.ppd
If you are using PPD files on Solaris, you must use one of the following
interface scripts:
standard_foomatic (/usr/lib/lp/model/standard_foomatic)
device is direct attached to USB, parallel, or serial port
netstandard_foomatic (/usr/lib/lp/model/netstandard_foomatic)
device is network attached (JetDirect, ...)
uri (/usr/lib/lp/model/netstandard_foomatic)
device is connected to a Windows server (eventually, other types of
connectivity as well)
Each of these interface scripts processes the job data using
foomatic-rip + the ppd file + filters embedded in the ppd file to
convert the job data to a printer ready format before sending it to the
printer. In the case of the *-hpijs.ppd files, this will mean a
combination of GhostScript with hpijs. The GhostScript that we ship is
about a year old, but very likely to be more than sufficient. The hpijs
that we ship is considerably older. I was actually looking on upgrading
both over the weekend. Also, the linuxprinting.org database listing
shows that pxlljr is the preferred driver for this printer, which we do
not ship at this time.
