One other problem with printer. I am getting a header page that prints at the beginning of every job. I can't figure out where it's coming from. In admintool I turned it off. I printcap I have :sh:sf

I got it working, I think it was two things. The device name, I changed it from lp1 to lp in the printcap file. Also the HP 932c driver will not work on the win machine over the network. I changed it to a 870Cse and it works good. Then I changed the device name to lp388, my printers name in...

I have a user that when I logon to it mwm starts and application software starts.( It is required to be this way for the application to work, I think) It has only one desktop and no apparent way to change it. The is no panel, just a console. How can I try to setup more desktops?

Hi, I have a sparc5 and just installed samba. I have a win98 box which can open the sparc in network neighborhood, I have access to the shared folders, one read, one read/write. I can see a shared printer. I can install it as network printer and print to it. Nothing prints. Traffic is going...

I can ping to and from both machines. I ran admintool and setup remote printer. I added the win98 machine to the list of hosts using it's computer name and it's ip address. I can ping it by it's name. I put it's name in for the printers host computer name, and the share name I used for the...

Thanks for the reply. I have Solaris 2.5 on a sparc5. So according to Carlos I guess it will not work. Is it possible to create a boot floppy on my linux machine that will support ufs, etc? I have rh 7.1 with the 2.4 kernel. imsnowman: I will check it out and see if it works. ??? David

To install a remote win98 shared printer do I need to have the same workgroup configured in solaris? How do I set the workgroup? Thanks, David

I am new to Solaris so this may be wrong. If you are connected to the internet or a public lan, you want to use ssh. You can get a free windows version called igaly ssh on the internet. Then you can tunnel the vnc traffic thru it, see the vnc website for details. It is safe for root login...

Can I make a boot floppy with /dev/rmt/0 access? Thanks, David

Now that I think about it the one big file idea is pretty lame. How do I determine the correct density to use for my drive and tapes.

Or should I use tar xvf / /dev/rmt/0cm

Hi Along these lines. What command should I use to backup the whole system and also zip it? if it will fit. And the restore command? I guess I need to give a file name in there somewhere. is this close? tar zxvf / /dev/rmt/0/filename tar zxvf /dev/rmt/0/filename /

Cool, Thanks again for the info.

Sorry i mean docs.sun.com

I found it at www.docs.sun.com Thanks for the info David

I am very new to solaris, I am needing to access a shared printer on a windows machine. My local printer port is called lp388. I am able to ping over network. Another option would be to share the printer from my sparc 5 solaris, but I would like to do it the other way.

Thanks, thats what I did. I booted the install cdrom and reinstalled the software, I did not need anything on the disk anyway. Very limited disk space. Thanks, David

Says disk is full. Must login from lowest level shell. I get login prompt and cannot login. Solaris 2.5.1 OpenWindows
