1. You must have the TCP/IP support installed on the server
2. You set up a print queue with TCP/IP printing
3. You set the printer name to \\server\queue
4. Thats it.

Yes.

1. Install a dummy 'lpsched' program that simply flashes the right
   status.  This is called 'evil' but it shuts stuff up.

2. Install LPRng clients (including the lpstat, lp support) on Solaris.

If you have any other problems,  then call me - I might have some additional
ideas.
