I have a Solaris 9 server that prints jobs and sends them to an Extendnet
print server. The extendnet print server is attached via serial cable to a
WinNT workstation. The workstation is then attached to the Lexmark laser
printer itself. Good stuff.

Basically what happens is when I create the print queue on Solaris 9 I use
the following..
 
Lpadmin -p va_strdreg_2 -v /dev/null -m netstandard -o
dest=vancheckprt:9100 -o protocol=tcp -o banner=never -T unknown -I any
Enable va_stdreg_2
Accept va_stdreg_2
 
I can print say 30 pages of a 90 page job then all at once it will quite
printing correctly and spool up another 30 pages? It will loop until I kill
the job.
 
This printer did work on Solaris 2.6 with no problems but it was added as a
remote network printer added via admintool which Sun doesn't support.
 
All of this spawn from an upgrade from Solaris 2.6 -> Solaris 2.9 by the
way..
 
All the HP printers were moved from admintool added printers to lpadmin
created printers on solaris 9 and they work perfect. Note though... when I
just copied the /etc/printers.conf file to Sol9 the printers would work
until anything over 10 pages was sent. Once a local queue was created with
lpadmin they worked fine.
