New Print Server

[sanmi]

Does anyone know what this is.
I just added a new printer in Solaris 8

I follwed the following steps:

#lpadmin -p queue_name .......
#enable queue_name
#accept queu_name
#banner=yes ( In the

# lp -d islex /etc/printers.conf
UX:lp: ERROR: There is no filter to convert the file content.
TO FIX: Use the lpstat -p -l command to find a
printer that can handle the file type
directly, check your filters using lpfilter -f all -l, or
consult with your system
administrator.

----------------------------------------------------------
When I ran lpstat -p -l
I got

# lpstat -p -l
printer islex is idle. enabled since Tue 16 Jan 2007 03:18:30 PM EST. available.
Form mounted:
Content types: postscript

(No such file or directory).
--------------------------------------------------------
When I ran # lpfilter -f all -l

Nothing came back # lpfilter -f all -l
#

Any idea what I'm doing wrong........
Thanks

It would help if you provided the complete lpadmin -p command you used to create the print queue.

lpadmin -p islex -o dest=islex:9100,protocol=tcp,timeout=10 -v /dev/null -m netstandard -T PS -I postscript


Thanks,

I suggest to keep the -o string as simple as possible:

lpadmin -p islex_test -o protocol=bsd,dest=islex -T PS -I any -v /dev/null -i /usr/lib/lp/model/netstandard
