I have an issue printing from a labeled zone to a printer configured in global 
connected either USB or LPT. 

Network configuration of my system is one IP on IPRB0 (192.168.1.1/24) set to 
all-zones and one IP for VNI0 (192.168.2.1/24) set to all-zones. The hostname 
for the global and all labeled zones is workstation1-vni which is tied to the 
VNI0 interface.

>From global I used printmgr and used [i]New Attached Printer[/i] to add the HP 
>printer connected to /dev/printers/0.
Printer Name: HPLJ
Print Server: workstation1-vni

Start the printmgr in each labeled zone and used the [i]Add Access to 
Printer[/i]
Printer Name: HPLJ
Print Server: 192.168.2.1 "using name caused error [i]The Server must be a 
remote server[/i]"
Description: HPLJ
Default Printer: selected

>From a labeled workspace using the print jobs window the printer displays 
>[i]device is out of service[/i]. 

I have tried setting the global zone hostname to workstation1 so the print 
server is configured as worstation1 and not workstation1-vni. From the labeled 
zones I connect to Print Server workstation1 but still have the same issue.

I would like to use this workstation "workstation1" as a print server for other 
workstations to print from their labeled zones. Currently I can print from the 
global zone of workstation2 to the printer on workstation1 but not from any 
labeled zones on either workstation. To use the system as a print or NFS server 
does it require global to have an explicit IP?

The 2 workstations can communicate using SSH and have MLP tcp 515 configured 
for the Print Server.
