Overview of The Oracle Solaris Printing Architecture PDF

The Oracle Solaris printing architecture consists of a UNIX System V spooler at its core along with client applications, filters, back end processing software, and printer communication. It supports print commands, a print spooler, over-the-wire protocols, and underlying technologies to move a print job from client to server or printer. Recent changes integrated IPP client support through the Printer Application Programming Interface (PAPI), while BSD and SysV commands use PAPI. Available tools include the Solaris Print Manager GUI and LP print service commands. Supported interfaces are IPP, SMB, and BSD.

Overview of the Oracle Solaris Printing Architecture

At the core of the print system is a UNIX System V (R4) based spooler. In addition to the spooler are client
applications that are used to make requests of and manage the spooler. filters that perform document translation,
back end processing software that performs final document transformation , and device (printer) communication.
To utilize the complete functionality of the print system, all these resources are required.

Printing in the Oracle Solaris OS consists of the software to support the following:

Print commands

Print spooler

Over-the-wire protocol

Underlying technologies that move a print request from the client to the server, and, or the printer

The following figure is a high level diagram that represents the print system components.

Recent changes in Oracle Solaris printing include the integration of IPP client-side support, implemented
through the PAPI. The Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) and System V (SysV) commands, as well as some
applications, are layered on top of the PAPI interface. See Implementation of the Open Standard Print API.

Available Printing Tools and Services

The following tools can be used to set up and manage printers in the Oracle Solaris 10 OS:

Solaris Print Manager – Is a graphical user interface (GUI) that enables you to manage printing
configuration on a local system or in a naming service.

LP print service commands – Is a command-line interface (CLI) that is used to set up and manage printers
on a local system or in a naming service. These commands also provide functionality that extend beyond
the other print management tools.
