Expert: Will H. Stewart Date: 3/16/2001 Subject: set up to print
Question Hi,
I am hoping you can help me with a problem I have on my test server here at work. I have an Intel machine with Solaris 7 x86 installed and this is on our company network. I have set it up so that it prints to a printer on our network ....or at least, I thought I did (!?)
I went to admintool, and filled out the information about our printer and made it the default printer. The print server is an NT machine (if that makes any difference).
When I try to print from the text editor (just clicking on the printer icon), after a long while, a message comes back:
' error transferring print job 1
check queue for (El Mariachi@CCDC3A)'
with 'El Mariachi' being that printer name and 'CCDC3A' being the print server....
Thank you!!
Jane
Answer The way you have your configuration it will never work.
Solaris files needing to be moved to an NT platform have to
have PCNFS to do that with. You'll need to install PCNFS server on your test server and PCNFS client on your print server.
If you want to know how all of that is done, it is not an easy task and would require 500 pages of documentation, not just an answer from Allexpert.com. You can get the documentation from http://www.docs.sun.com.
I know PCNFS is a part of the OS- Solaris 7, so you don't need to buy anything else, just implement it.
The other alternative is to implement Samba on your NT machine. To do that check www.Samba.org.
Good luck.
Will
