Preface

This document is a walk through on how to setup a printer on Solaris 8 using cups as the print spooler. I wrote this document using an Epson Stylus C84 printer connected to my Sun Blade 100 via USB. I can use lp/lpr and xprint based applications and print in color with various levels of resolution and quality.
