Installing on Sun Solaris SPARC

  1. Read Before installing the printer drivers.

  2. Set the NONABI_SCRIPTS environment variable to TRUE.

  3. Make sure you set the OPENWINHOME environment variable by typing the following on the command line:

      # gunzip /tmp/print-drivers-solaris8-10-sparc.pkg.gz
    3. Start the package installation program.

      # pkgadd -d /tmp/print-drivers-solaris8-10-sparc.pkg
