SUMMARY: Solaris Printing Software

Thanks for your help on this issue. I did not have any recommendations for
the commercial product. Most of you recommended not to drop CUPS. Some of
you suggested the following packages to work with HP printers:

SOL1034.pkg
SOLe118.PKG

SOLd621.PKG


HP discontinued these packages but you can use them anyway. I found this
link to download these packages:
http://www.filesearching.com/cgi-bin/s?d=&l=en&m=999&o=d&p=&p2=&q=pkg&s1=&s2=&submit=Go&t=x

I am wondering what are the differences between these three packages? ( I
guess I have to google more about these packages). I am not sure if these
packages work with CUPS. If anyone knows how to setup these packages with
CUPS, please help me. I will try on my test machine and post a follow-up
summary later. Thanks.
