Preface
System Administration Guide: Solaris Printing is part of a set that covers a significant part of the
SolarisTM system administration information. This guide includes information for both SPARC®
and x86
based systems.
This book assumes that you have installed the SunOSTM Solaris Operating System. It
also assumes that you have set up any networking software that you plan
to use.
For the Solaris release, new features that are interesting to system administrators are
covered in sections called What's New in ... ? in the appropriate chapters.
Note - This Solaris release supports systems that use the SPARC and x86 families
of processor architectures: UltraSPARC®
, SPARC64, AMD64, Pentium, and Xeon EM64T. The supported systems
appear in the Solaris 10 Hardware Compatibility Lists at https://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl. This document cites any implementation differences between
the platform types.
In this document these x86 related terms mean the following:
“x86” refers to the larger family of 64-bit and 32-bit x86 compatible products.
“x64” points out specific 64-bit information about AMD64 or EM64T systems.
“32-bit x86” points out specific 32-bit information about x86 based systems.
For supported systems, see the Solaris 10 Hardware Compatibility Lists.
