[Sunhelp] lpd support for solaris

[Almazan_Hector at emc.com]

well this is how I add the printer.
Printer server : NT server
Printer Name: testlp-q
Printer IP Address: 192.9.200.1

Edit /etc/hosts and add the printer's ip address:

192.9.200.1	testlp

# lpsystem -t bsd testlp
# lpadmin -p testlp-q -s testlp!lp
to check:
# lpq -P testlp
no entries

and it works,

Hector
