[brandz-discuss] Any Experience on shared Solaris / lxBrandz print spooling

[Edward Pilatowicz]

hey lars,
i've never actually set any of this up, but i can tell you that the
server side needs to be running within solaris.  the reason is that
an lx branded zone doesn't have access to devices, so it can't drive
the printer.  configure a print server within solaris and then setup
the linux zone as a client.  if you have networking propertly
configured, this should be the same as setting up two seperate
machines.  (sorry that i don't have more details about how to
actually set this up.)
