Since upgrading from 'Drake 6.1, I have been unable to print from my Linux box
to a printer attached to a Windows machine elsewhere on my network. The printer
does work, other machines can print to it.
I have Samba 2.0.6 installed (not from rpm) in /usr/local/samba and I have
changed /usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters/smbprint to point to
/usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient. For kicks, I've even tried setting "chmod -R 777
/var/spool/lpd/lp".
When I try to print, no packets are sent to the remote machine, therefore I
have concluded that the problem exists on the local 'Drake 7.0 box.
Help!
