Installing from a CD

  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:

    # env | grep OPENWINHOME

    If you do not get a response, you must set the OPENWINHOME environment variable to the openwin directory.

  4. Install the package file.

    1. Check to see if you are running Volume Manager by entering the following on the command line and then pressing Enter:

      # ps -ef | grep vold

      If you get a response:

      The vold process is running, and therefore the Volume Manager is running. The CD automatically mounts. Start the package installation program by entering the following command:

      # pkgadd -d /cdrom/cdrom0/unix/packages/
      print-drivers-solaris-sparc.pkg

      If you do not get a response:

      Volume Manager is not running.

      • Make sure the /cdrom directory exists.

      • Mount the CD.

        For example, if the path to the CD-ROM drive is /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2, you would run the following command:

        # mount -F hsfs -o ro/dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2 
        /cdrom
      • Start the package installation by entering the following command:

        # pkgadd -d /cdrom/unix/packages
        /print-drivers-solaris2-sparc.pkg

    2. Continue with the instructions on the screen.

  5. A list of available packages appears.

  6. Follow the prompts and answer any questions that appear on the screen.
