[Samba] add printers in Solaris 10 sparse zone

[Daulton_Theodore]

Hi all,

I have samba installed in a Solaris 10 sparse zone but I am having no luck adding printers in the zone so they could be accesses through the Samba server.

The jetdirect software (hppi) fails with the error mknod: not owner; and chmod: WARNING: can't access /dev/<printer name>

I've created the device (/dev/<printer_name> in the global zone. I've added it to the zone using zonecfg but it does not appear in the zone when I list the contents of /dev.

I am planning on moving our main samba server, currently on Solaris 9) to a solaris 10 zone but I will need to offer printing from samba.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
