Sun recommends that you use the Solaris Print Manager, now available in the Solaris Operating Environment to set up printing on systems running the Solaris Operating Environment. |
This chapter describes how to set up network printing services with the Solaris Print Manager. The Solaris Print Manager issues the necessary SAF commands.
