I'm using SAMBA in a small network at home ( two Linux boxes and a Win95
box). The Win95 box can use the shared directory I've set up, but I can't get
printing to work. I can see the printer in Network Neighbourhood, but if I set
it up as an Epson Color (using the disk that came with the printer), it says it
can't connect to the printer. I suspect it's expecting the printer itelf, not a
spooler.
How should I be setting up the printer in Win95? Can I set up the printer in
the Linux box to be direct (i.e. /dev/lp1) rather than through a spooler (lpd)?
I've included my smb.conf file - it's pretty small.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially by My Lady, who wants to
be able to print from her machine!
