Summary: How to configure Solaris in order to send print queue over to NT print server?

Hi all,

Thanks for the valuable inputs.

Q. How can I configure NT as a print server for UNIX
systems?

A. A. The Windows NT Server that will be acting as the
print service must have the following:

TCP/IP installed
"Microsoft TCP/IP Printing" service installed (Start -
Settings - Control Panel - Network - Services tab -
Add - Microsoft TCP/IP Printing)
TCP/IP Print server service must be set to start
automatically (Start - Settings - Control Panel -
Services - TCP/IP Print Server - Startup - Automatic)
Once all of this is completed it is necessary to add a
registry key as for UNIX to successfully pass data to
an NT server the data type must be set to RAW.

Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
Move to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LPDSVC\Parameters
>From the Edit menu select New - DWORD value
Enter a name of SimulatePassThrough and press Enter
Double click the new value and set to 1. Click OK
Close the registry editor
The default value for SimulatePassThrough is 0, which
informs LPD to assign data types according to the
control commands.

You should now shutdown and restart the server. Once
the start has completed the NT box will be able to
accept UNIX print jobs. At the UNIX end you would need
to use the following commands (example only for SCO
Open Server 5).

The command below only needs to be entered once by
technical staff
# mkdev rlp
You can then add a remote printer via SCOADMIN
Printers for ordinary use
On the SVR system you would use.

The command below only needs to be entered once by
technical staff
# /usr/sbin/lpsystem -t bsd -R 1 -T 1 <remote system>
The final stage is to actually configure the link to
the NT printer
# lpadmin -p <local printer> -s<remote NT system>!<NT
printer name>
# enable <local printer>
# accept <local printer>
An example would be NT server name SAVPDC and print
HP4SI the unix command would be

# lpadmin -p p0 -sSAVPDC!HP4SI
