I would like to hear from anyone who is running Lawson on a Unix server to find out how you have your printers set up.
We're in the process of upgrading our apps and env to 9.0.1 on a new server and we need to set up all of our printers again and we're hoping to find a better way of setting up the printers than what we have done in the past.
We used to have all of our printers set up locally on our Unix/Lawson server which worked great, but for some reason our Unix Admins don't want to do it that way anymore. The last time we upgraded and moved to a new server, they set the printers up on a CUPS server, which works ok but can be a pain trying to get some of the printers working correctly. We also experience a delay when sending reports to a printer, which our users are complaining about. For this upgrade, they want to use a Windows print server using the "Print Services for Unix" option, but we are having trouble getting our reports to format correctly.
I'd like know how those of you, who are running Lawson on a Unix server, have your printers set up. Do you have your printers set up on a Windows print server, a local Unix print server, a CUPS server or some other way?
Any responses will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mary

Mary: We are on Unix, and have all of our printers set up locally. It seems to be a little less confusing than any of the other ways.
Plus, all of our users are Portal users, and Portal with a PDF default display for the reports uses the Windows printers anyway.
The only ones that we have HAD to set up are the materials ones for auto-printing pick tickets, and maybe one or two other materials scheduled jobs.
If you can get all of your users to Portal, and have them all set to PDF default view for reports, you should be about the same as us and only need to set up a small number of printers.
