Here's how I do such a thing (I'm already using SAMBA): Link the smbspool program from SAMBA to 'smb' in CUPS' backend directory. $ ls -l /usr/local/libexec/cups/backend/smb lrwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 23 Sep 3 21:08 /usr/local/libexec/cups/backend/smb -> /usr/local/bin/smbspool I think the default CUPS backend directory is /usr/lib/cups/backend in Linux. Then restart CUPS (you may have to actually shut it down and start it again, I'm not sure if kill -HUP will work). Then add the printer. Use "Windows Printer via SAMBA" as the device. If you're not using SAMBA, then use IPP. I've not been able to get the IPP add-on to work on Win98, but I believe it comes with new Win*. There's a fair amount of documentation on using IPP that comes with CUPS -> http://localhost:631/documentation.html. -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Eug-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
