Setting up a network printer can be a real nightmare, but is much worse when that printer is attached to a Dlink Router with printer support or even when attached to another system.

Below are step by step instructions along with screenshot of how to set up a network print in Solaris.

Enter in to the Printer administration
Enter the hostname of your system
You should select "Files" on this screen
Select "Attach new network printer"
In printer name, use "lp" <LP> in lowercase ONLY
type in the description of the printer (makes on difference what you put there.
Select the type of printer, and model
use BSD only TCP rarely works
Click "ok" which will bring you back to the printer admin screen
