Yeah well for the C86 the linux drivers aren't very good for printing photos and stuff and thats kinda what I bought this printer to do. The windows drivers print photos real nice though.

Yeah if I do that will I still be using client side drivers though? Because the linux drivers for the Epson C86 kinda suck.

alright last night I bought a nice new Epson C86 and now Im trying to share it in linux. I have to use samba because I have a few windows machines in the house too :(. I have this in my smb.conf right now:

[printers]
       printable = yes
       print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r
       writable = no
       path = /var/spool/samba
       guest ok = yes
       comment = All Printers
       create mode = 0700

oh yeah...heres the confusing part...my HP Deskjet500 is shared fine with that printer block. SO please help me out! The host machine can print to it but all the clients can't. Hope somebody has a solution


Is there some reason you are using Samba instead of CUPS to implement
printing from Windows?

As far as I remember you don't have to use driver on the client. But why does the linux driver sucks? I have a epson c 62 and it works better, than on windows (it doesn't use so much ink -- this saves money :-) ).
