SOLARIS 9 mailer prinitng

[kark sol]

Hi,

I am having trouble with printing with the default mailer that come
with Solaris.
It works for me with Solaris 8. I am doubting if I deleted some
pckages that come with Solaris.

I openned up the mailer by clicking on the mail icon , and then it
openned up my inbox from /var/mail. But unfortunately I am unable to
print anything. It doesnot identify any of the network printers, when
I give the printer names in the print pop up window.

Am i missing some packages or some sort of configuration files...
please help me.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

The CDE programs, like the GUI mail program, depend on the SUNWmp
package to print. That wouldn't prevent them from listing the
available printers, though. Just printing to them.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply...

I see that SUNWmp is installed in the system. When I use pine as my
client instead of the default solaris mailer( the one that comes up
when I click the icon on the taskbar/menubar), i am able to print.
Is there any configuration files or something like that, that I am
missing.

Any further help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Kark
