Frequently Asked Questions
2. If you have multiple printer queue entries in uiprint.txt and you need to set
the default printer, verify that the environment variable is set to a printer that is
listed in uiprint.txt. If the related environment variable is not set, then the first
entry in uiprint.txt is used. For more information about printer related
environment variables, refer to Environment Variables.
If there is no printer available for your system, refer to Configuring the Printing
Environment for alternatives.
Error while printing to a printer with spaces in its name
Cause
If you are on Solaris 2.8 and have printers that have spaces in the names, you may
encounter a bug that causes an error resulting from the lpr/lp command including
quotes around the printer name.
Solution
To resolve this issue, you must do either one of the following:
■ Remove the spaces in the printer’s name.
■ Install the Solaris 2.8 patch from Sun Microsystems that fixes the lpr/lp command
so that quotes can be used in printers names.
and
■ Modify the section of rwlpr.sh that provides the workaround for including quotes,
in order to make accessible any printer that has a space in the name. The rwlpr.sh
file is located in the ORACLE_HOME/bin directory.
Specifically, make the following changes:
#either LPR or LP Command was found
if [ -x $PRNCMDPATH ]
then
if [ `basename $PRNCMDPATH` = "lpr" ]
then
#if [ `/usr/bin/uname -r` = "5.8" ]
#then
#$PRNCMDPATH `echo $@ | tr -d "\""`
#else
$PRNCMDPATH "$@"
#fi
else
# parse and Fix the command Line as Required by lp
#if [ `/usr/bin/uname -r` = "5.8" ]
#then
#getLpCommandLine `echo $@ | tr -d "\""`
#else
getLpCommandLine "$@"
#fi
$PRNCMDPATH
fi
# exit with the command's exit code , This will tell the
# server Print module if the command completed successfully
# or not.
exit $?
fi
done
