Description

Following are the steps to set up a USB printer to a Sun Ray (TM)..

"You must be root to set up a printer"

1.) Connect the USB cable between the Sunray unit and the printer

2.) Get the MAC address of the Sunray unit.

# cd /tmp/SUNWut/units/IEEE802.<mac_id>

3.) Locate printer port

	# cd /dev/printers
        # pwd /tmp/SUNWut/units/IEEE802.<mac_id>/dev/printers
        # ls
        epson0662502174r0rxhr (epson USB-parallel adaptor)      

4.) Bring up admintool, follow Browse->Printers->Edit->Add->LocalPrinter

5.) Type in printername and printer port (from step 3)

       Example:
        /tmp/SUNWut/units/IEEE802.080020d15ef2/dev/printers/epson0662502174r0rxhr      

6.) Click "OK" and enter other printer info

7.) Verify printer setup

# lpstat -d <printername>

***If non-Postscript printer, probably need Ghostscript or equivalent filter for proper Solaris printing***
