Subject: Re: [netatalk-admins] Adding Printers in Solaris

Sloloris has a Tcl/Tk program admintool that makes adding printers easier.
If the printers are already in place and functioning under Solaris, and
are postscript, you can just use the pipeline technique, Solaris seems to
prefer this syntax over the lpr method: lp:| lp -dhpiii: or whatever your
printer name is. ('lpc status | more' should give you a list). If they are
not postscript, you'll need to use ghostscript or something else as a
filter. I've written a simple tclsh script that pipelines the print data
through ghostsript, because papd complained about the length of the lp:
line when I tried to put all the gs options in papd.conf: (the set outhdl
line should be all on one line)
_____________________________________________________________________________
#!/usr/bin/tclsh
set outhdl [open {|/usr/local/bin/gs -q -sColorMode=CMYK -sPrintQuality=normal -
dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=hpdj -sOutputFile=- - -c quit | lpr -Pdeskjet } w]
while { ![eof stdin] } {
gets stdin buff
puts $outhdl $buff
}
close $outhdl
