I am installing a new Soalris 10 server and need to get all 150 printers from an older Soalris 9 server configured on the new Soalris 10 server. &nbsp;I have copied the /etc/lp/printers, /etc/lp/interfaces, /etc/printers.conf (changed the server name from the old one to the new one) from the old server (9) to new one (10) and cannot seem to get this to work. &nbsp;I have opened up Print Manager in Solaris 10 and can see the printers but none of them work. &nbsp;If I do an lpstat, they are all outputted to /dev/null.<br />
<br />
Anyone have any experience with Solaris printers who could help me with this?

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
