RE: [SLUG] Unix/Samba Printing
It really does work as you have said; I would strongly suggest you read the installation notes and docs in the Samba distribution concerning the setting up of printers (just copy their examples). As I mentioned on a previous posting, if the printer is unavailable (temporarily), your *-ix printer daemon will first tell you it didn't work, but will continue to poll the printer anyway until it accepts the job.

[SLUG] Unix/Samba Printing
All this talk of Unix and Samba printing is giving me ideas... Say I wanted to host a Samba printer queue on a Linux box for a bunch of Win9x and DOS clients, but wanted to send the jobs off to be printed on a 9x machine (which isn't guaranteed to be on the network or switched on, thus the queue on the Linux box)... Does anyone recommend some good places to rummage around in for good info regarding this? I know next to nothing about Unix printing (I have printed at Uni, which is about it!), and I've been using workgroup printing on Win9x networks long enough to know not to trust them...

Re: [SLUG] Unix/Samba Printing
yes i would also like a similar solution to this problem... an email gets sent to a destination but also comes out on the network printer. must be easy enough i suppose, only i've never done it before. anyone point me in the right direction?
