SCSA10-1 Objective 5.1 - Solaris configure administer OS print and LP services, specify destination printer
Getting printers happily working on a Solaris box in the real world can make root canals fun, but what you need to know about printing for the exam is pretty reasonable.
Configure and administer Solaris 10 OS print services, including client and server configuration, starting and stopping the LP print service, specifying a destination printer, and using the LP print service.
Sun has a sweet guide called the Basic Principles of Printing in Solaris 2.6 and Above which provides a clear set of definitions of who’s who in printing, directions for configuring print servers and clients, and some other stuff you don’t need to know for the exam (postscript, filters, PCL, and troubleshooting).
In Solairs 10, the print service is managed by the SMF so it is no longer started and stopped with rc scripts. To start the print server, use
svcadm enable [-t] application/print/server
The -t option makes the change temporary. Without the -t option, the print server will be enabled persistently such that it will start again following a reboot. To stop the print server (with the same -t temporary option), use:
svcadm disable [-t] application/print/server
The lp command is used on clients to submit print jobs. The -d option can override the default printer destination. To print the contents of the file stuff to the printer named gutenberg, use this command:
lp -d gutenberg stuff
These are all command line approaches to configuring printing services on Solaris. There is also a GUI tool called printmgr whose presence on the exam is questionable. From the man page for printmgr:
Using Solaris Printer Manager is the preferred method for managing printer access because Solaris Print Manager centralizes printer information when it is used in a name service environment.
While it may be preferrable when using a name service like LDAP or NIS+, these are substantially out of scope for the exam. In my experience, the command line utillities are more commonly the stuff that questions are made of.
