I apologize if this has been discussed already or if this is off topic, but I'm still learning samba and I can't figure out this problem. I'm trying configure my samba/debian box to allow printing to a shared printer on a win95 machine. Any help is appreciated.
In printcap: ljsaturn|HP Laserjet 6P :rm=saturn.ois.swau.edu :rp=hplj6p :sd=/var/spool/lpd/ljsaturn :mx#0 :lp=/dev/null :sh :sf I can print from another Windows machine (through the samba share \\saturn\hplj6p). However, when I'm on the samba server and type 'lpr -P hplj6p /etc/samba/smb.conf' for instance, I get the following errors: sending job '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1 connected to 'localhost' requesting printer [EMAIL PROTECTED] error 'LINK_TRANSFER_FAIL' sending str '^Bhplj6p' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] job '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' transfer to [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed Is this a samba config problem or a printcap config problem? =========================================== Charles Lewis, Director of Administrative Computing Southwestern Adventist University, Keene, TX (817)556-4720 [EMAIL PROTECTED] FAX (360)397-7952 ===========================================
