Solaris 10 JDS - Install HP Laser Jet 1000 printer problems ?
Hi all,
I am new here and new to solaris as well as unix.
I think this is the correct fourm to ask my question
I have a sun blade 100 with a usb printer (HP LaserJet 1000)
that I want to install. I tried the Launch->Preferences->System Preference->Add/Remove Printer,
but it doesn't seem to work.
port: /dev/usb/printer0
and it has the correct drivers
I tried a test file using acrobat - nothing happened
the command to printer is "/usr/bin/lp -c"
i tried to print from mozilla with "postscript/HPLaserjet1000"
and nothing happened.
Can anyone give me steps to install or point me in the right
direction. Thanks.
-Tony

How you found any answers to this one? I am havind the same problem.
I am using and Epson Stylus CX3200, which only has USB. I pluged it up and it shows up in /dev/printers. I have tried the path /dev/usb/printer0 and /dev/printers/1.
I have gone through all the steps in the troubleshooting procedures and it all seems to check out ok. I think it may be the printer description, but I don't know that much about that part.
Any gurus out there specialize in printing?
Thanks

Hi,
I have just installed a HP 3330 MFP with Solaris 10 X86 FCS and connected via a USB port.
The steps I used was :
/usr/sadm/admin/bin/printmgrSolaris Print Manager starts.
Select the name service ... usually files.
Select Printer new attached Printer.
Select Printer Make and Model ie HP and HP Laserjet 3330 MFP
Select the port as /dev/printers1. You can do the following to confirm if the configuration is correct :
ls -la /dev/printersIn my case I get
drwxr-xr-x2 rootroot 512 Mar 28 10:25 .
drwxr-xr-x 17 rootsys 6656 Apr 15 12:08 ..
lrwxrwxrwx1 rootroot 32 Mar 28 10:25 0 -> ../../devices/isa/lp@1,378:ecpp0
lrwxrwxrwx1 rootroot 54 Mar 28 10:25 1 -> ../../devices/pci@0,0/pci1039,7001@3/printer@1:printer
Notice printers/0 in my case is the parallel port and it has assigned printers/1 to my usb ports.
Accept the suggested printer driver and select the default check box if you want it to be the default.
Click OK and your done.
It worked for me when I configured the HP and a Canon on the parallel port.
If the printer was not connected when you installed the system it may not have been discovered so you need a reconfiguration boot or use devfsadm
Hope it helps
