Client Printing to Soaris Cups Server

[Dan Hughes]

Greetings.

I've set up my Solaris CUPS server and all was working well until an issue came up that I can't solve on my own.

First the clients run Sungard Banner and the printing is simply an straight lp command, though with a lot of options (e.g. "landscape"). The clients are Solaris 10 containers.

When I add the printer to the client as lpd: "lpset -a printer-uri-supported=lpd://server/printers/M2727 M2727" the printing works but I lose the options, so it just prints normally.

Now if I add the printer through ipp: "lpadmin -p M2727 -s ipp://server/printers/M2727" the printouts are formatted correctly.

Here's the problem, I can add through IPP on most Solaris 10 boxes, on several (including the most critical one) when I add IPP and go to print I get the error:

lp -d M2727 /etc/hosts
Failed to contact service for foo: not-found

I have Googled until I'm nauseous with no answers. Is there a way to get CUPS to accept the options from the lp command using LPD on a client? I'm concerned about using IPP due to the issues that are coming up...

Thanks!
