Administering Network Printing Services

Network services for the IPP, RFC-1179, and the SMB protocols are managed by SMF.

The FMRI descriptions for these printing services are as follows:

  • For the IPP listening service, the FMRI is svc:/application/print/ipp-listener.

  • For the RFC-1179 listening service, the FMRI is svc:/application/print/rfc1179-listener.

  • For the SMB network service (server-side support), the FMRI is svc:/network/samba or svc:/network/wins. This service is available through Samba.

    For more information about SMF services and using the svcadm command, see Chapter 16, Managing Services (Overview), in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration.
