There is no printing server currently on CLON Cluster, every machine sends job directly to printers.

Solaris: printer's configuration file /etc/printers.conf must exist and have following contents:

#
#       If you hand edit this file, comments and structure may change.
#       The preferred method of modifying this file is through the use of
#       lpset(1M)

clonhp2:\
        :bsdaddr=clonhp2.jlab.org,clonhp2,Solaris:
clonhp:\
        :bsdaddr=clonhp.jlab.org,clonhp,Solaris:
_default:\
        :use=clonhp:

Linux: as root run following command (or choose from menu):

/usr/bin/system-config-printer

Click New, choose printer name clonhp and short description clonhp (or whatever you like). On next screen select a queue type Networked JetDirect and printer clonhp.jlab.org. Finish setup, print testpage. Repeat for clonhp2.



WAS: To RESET printing queue use "lpc" command on CLON01 (as root):

# lpc
lpc> clean clonhp
       removed clonhp-789
lpc> status
clonhp:
       queueing is enabled
       printing is enabled
       no entries
