Summary

In addition to understanding the LP print service, you need to know how to use all the utilities and programs presented in this chapter that are used to manage the LP print service.

The majority of system problems I respond to are printer related. You should also become familiar with your third-party applications and how they prepare print jobs to be sent to the spooler. Many of the problems I encounter are not with the Solaris print service but with the way that the application formats the print job.

In the next chapter, I’ll describe the common desktop environment (CDE) window system. Using CDE, you can use many of the GUI tools I’ve explained in this and previous chapters.
