Have a look at 'Sun Solstice Print Client'. It's supposed to be the first glimpse of the new print model that Sun, Dec and Xerox are cooperating on. It currently only supports print clients. On the server side you have to use the stock software. I have the print client stuff set up here, and it really works. The SVR4 print stuff used to get very upset (we have ~200 print queues). But in 2.5.1, even the stock print sw seems to be more stable (that's what we have to use on the central spooler that all print goes through). It's located on the Solstice CD in the server pack. > Well, I had some packages that were set up for BSD or System V, and found > that they were easier to get running if I told them it was a BSD box. True for packages that mean 'System V release < 4'. For those packages it was usually easier to port the BSD version. SVR4 *is* a combination of two worlds, and it has very much SunOS and BSD, not just System V. > -- > </peter> -- Birger Wathne Birger.Wathne@nho.hydro.com | These addresses may *not* be Birger.Wathne@sdata.no | used for unsolicited mailing
