Help on printing from Application svr(Solaris 10) to client device(Laptop -
Dear SGD Forum users,
Objective: To be able printing from Application server( Solaris 10 Sparc ) to my client device( WinXp Pro ).
Summary: I cannot print from UNIX application server to my laptop Windows XP desktop.
I had installed SGD 4.3 release in my Sun T2000 server on Solaris 10 Sparc. My application server is Netra t1 with Solaris 10 Sparc. I had read up some guides regarding printing in SGD help page and i think i had confused myself. Now seeking some help from SGD users out there.
Actions:
1. I have added Network printers( Brother HL-8050N, Canon LBP-326, HP LaserJet 4100 Series PCL and Xerox Phaser 6200DP ) in my laptop and tested to print with a success.
2. From Array Manager, "Printing" properties
- Printing: Let users print to all client printers
- PDF Printing: Let users print to a PDF printer( Checked )
Let users print to a PDF local file( Checked )
Driver Name: HP Color LaserJet 8500 PS
- Click Apply.
3. Copy prtinstall.en.sh from SGD server to application server.
4. # sh prtinstall.en.sh
DNS name of primary Secure Global Desktop server: sgd.esuria.com
Installing printer configuration file...
Installing lp/lpr "wrapper" scripts...
Local system type is Solaris OS on SPARC[R] platforms.
Informing lp subsystem about remote printer tta_printer
redirected to printer tta_printer on Secure Global Desktop host sgd.esuria.com...
Running: lpsystem -tbsd sgd.esuria.com
"sgd.esuria.com" has been added.
Running: lpadmin -p tta_printer -s'sgd.esuria.com!tta_printer'
Running: enable tta_printer
Warning: tta_printer is remote, enable has no meaning.
Running: accept tta_printer
Warning: tta_printer is remote, accept has no meaning.
Success.
5. From laptop, launch firefox browser and typed sgd.mydomain.com
- Username: demo1
- Password: 123
- Launch dtpad( dtpad from UNIX application server )
- Type simple letters, abc123.
- Click File, Print
- Printer GUI comes up with Printer name tta_printer and i click print. Then pop-up shows " request id is tta_printer-6( 1 file )
Now, here i am stuck.
Note: I don't install and configure any printers in my SGD server(T2000). I only installed printers in my laptop.
I also did follow the guide "Configuring the Secure Global Desktop server to accept remote print requests" which i added Application server hostname/ip address in the /etc/hosts.equiv file.
I believe, i did forgot some steps. Need some help to guide me to solve my problem.
