The printer on the network works, but only with windows machines and not the unix machines. At one time it did but when I reboot all the unix machines i couldn't print from them. I am new to unix what do I do. Help thanks

Hi Victor,
I'm also new to UNIX. Did you receive any responses to your question.
How did you add a new printer to UNIX ?
Thanks.
Gabriel

Hi Will
Hi, I have to set-up an IP enable printer (HP LaserJet 5si) on Solaris V.8.
Following some readings I proceeded as follow: 1) I changed the hosts file to add a line with the printer IP address and related printer name (a1) 2) I added "setenv PRINTER a1" to the local.chsrc file to make "a1" my default printer 3) I executed the command "source *.chsrc" to comfirm the change
When I execute lpr I receive the following error: unknown printer
Summary: i'm trying to add an hp 5si network printer to a solaris 7 box. it can ping the printer by name & ip address, but how do i actually create the printer port for it?...
