Ok, lots of good input. Here is more info: The printers are high dollar canon printers on a windows network. I will have to have AD permission to use, I do not believe I can access "directly." I added the Linux box to the Domain, attempted to add the printer as a SAMBA share, and attempted a CIFS connection, but as Mark said I have yet to find any drivers that will load to the zLinux box. If I install CUPS and get AD access for the printer, can I possibly do the CUPS / Postscript route?
Thanks all. -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mark Post Sent: Thursday, June 18, 2015 4:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: printers >>> On 6/18/2015 at 02:48 PM, "Dean, David (I/S)" <[email protected]> wrote: > I am sure this has been covered, but can someone point in the > direction of getting printers to work off zlinux servers? Drivers? Well, you're probably not going to get anything working that requires an actual driver to be downloaded to the Linux system. But, there should be no problem setting up CUPS to print to any Postscript printer, etc. If CUPS has a PPD file for it, it should work.
