2. Printing

2-1 This section explains how to print using [lp] command. For more details, refer to Solaris manual.

# lp -d pboxlp <Name of print file>

This causes the banner page to be automatically printed.

To disable the banner printing feature, add the following option, “-o nobanner”.

# lp -d pboxlp -o nobannert <Name of print file>

Alternatively, type,

# lpadmin -p pboxlp -o nobanner

directly edit the filter file generated under /etc/lp/interfaces.

Either of these options disables banner print function.

Example: Using an editor e.g. vi, open the file shown below. Change “nobanner=no” to

“nobanner=yes”.

# vi /etc/lp/interfaces/pboxlp

nobanner=no ---> nobanner=yes

3. Cancel the print request.

3-1 Use “cancel” command to cancel the current print job request.

-Depending on the timing or Solaris specification, canceling attempt will fail.

4. Check the printer status

4-1 Use “lpstat” to verify the printer status.

# lpstat -p pboxlp

-Depending on the UNIX specification, the command will fail to correctly display the printer status.
