Patch-ID# 109320-08
Keywords: security in.lpd core printd jobs setuid initgroups lpr ioctl lpstat
Synopsis: SunOS 5.8: LP Patch
Date: Nov/26/2003
your IP-Printers are configured as "remote printers" delete the queue and setup the printer-queues as "local printers" using the netstandard interface for remote printing (smart trick)
A Basic Network Printer Queue
To create a print queue which prints to a network printer use the following syntax:
# lpadmin -p banana -o protocol=bsd,dest=hostname -v /dev/null -m netstandard -T unknown -I any
# enable banana
# accept banana
If you do not want to have /dev/null locked during printing you just need to create another dummyfile or a copy of /dev/null with
mknod /dev/banana c 13 2
chmod 666 /dev/banana
and change the lpadmin command above using /dev/banana
