For Solaris 2.5.1 system:
I need to get the lastest patch of 103959 which is -06 (lower version may work,
but for sure not -03 because I have this version before I applied -06 in order to
make it work). Then I need to vi the file /etc/lp/Systems:
<printserver>:x:-:bsd:-:n:10:SVR4-Extensions:-:

take out the "-" and put the above
For Solaris 2.6 system:
I need to vi the file /etc/printers.conf:
<printername>:\
:bsdaddr=<printserver>,<printername>,Solaris:

add the above
