We have a NFS ethernet network with 15 HP LaserJet printers on an Aurora multiplexer card in a SUN 386i. About 30 PCs using PC-NFS use these printers as if they were directly attached to the PCs. I am now trying to bring up ESIX VR3.2 on a 386 PC. I got the ESIX with TCP/IP and NFS and can remotely mount file systems from the network with no problem. I have not, however, been able to set up a network printer on the ESIX system. Before I run lpadmin -p pname -U sysname to configure the printer, as near as I can tell, I need to make some kind of entry in the /usr/lib/uucp/Systems and, perhaps, the Devices file... but the documentation seems a little fuzzy to me and nothing I've tried has worked. Has anyone configured a networked printer under ESIX VR3.2 or other system V and can they tell me how to do it? The ESIX system is ptw064 with address 1.40.131.64, the SUN server is ptw032 with address 1.40.131.32 and the printer name (in /etc/printcap on the SUN) is lp138a. Thanks.
