Yes, most likely the print server is SMB, in which case you need to install
samba and then use linux as a samba client to access the printer.

Subject: Printer config
Hi everyone:
I've got a problem with a printer that I'm supposed to be using. This
printer is connected to my PC through a LAN and I'm
not able to configure my Linux to print through it. The printer works just
fine from other PC's in the same LAN that have
Windows running. I don't think it's a network problem because I've got
perfect access to the LAN and the rest of Internet.
The printer is not directly connected to any computer but to the LAN. This
thing has its own ip address (to which I can ping
normally). The printer is supposed to 'understand' PostScript documents
whether they come from Windows or Linux and it
manages its own printing queue (maybe it's got something similar to Samba in
it, I don't know).
The only thing I know is that I can see documents waiting to be printing and
stuck locally (lpq says that it's sending the
documents to the correct ip address but nothing else...)
Thanks a lot to Dave Mielke and Tony Nugent but their suggestions didn't
work...
Details:
-My Linux is Mandrake 6.1 (RedHat compatible)
-The printer is a DANKA/INFOTEC 4352 MF. This model doesn't appear listed on
the available printer models list of the
control-panel, so I have chosen a generic Postscript printer (someone told
this should work)
Control-panel printer configuration:
-Names: lp
-Spool Directory: /var/spool/lpd/lp
-File Limit (0=no limit): 0
-Remote Host: IP address of the printer
-Remote queue: lp (raw doesn't work either)
-Input Filter: *auto*-PostScript
If anyone has any idea...
Thanx a lot.
Later.
