Dear sirs, This is a extremely newbie question (from a newbie user), but after reading a lot (LPRng, printcap, IFHP, samba) and make my mind a mess, I decided to submit my problem to this mail list to try to obtain a guideline to solve it. Thanks in advance for your attention.
Distro: debian 3.0r1 Kernel: 2.2.20-idepci LPRng: 3.8.10-1 (debian pkg) IFHP: 3.5.7-2 (debian pkg) Samba: 2.2.2-5 (debian pkg) I want to use a printer, from my Linux box, (LaserJet 1200) which is a service from an NT domain (to where I have access as user) but at this point I�m totally lost: I don�t know where to start form: shall I setup Samba server (or it is not necessary) where :lp= has to point?� (well, no idea�) I�ve found a lot of info to use a printer from win environment shared from a Samba Linux box, but not vice versa) A part from that I have some more specific questions: a) Why lprngtool uses master-filter instead of ifhp? (I realized that when I use ifhp: sentences at /etc/printcap, lprngtool complains) b) I tried to start from a simpler problem: to set up a local DeskJet 670c printer, but I didn�t succeed in printing further than plain text files. I attach the /etc/printcap code regarding this printer, I would appreciate any corrections or suggestions: lp :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp :sh :ml=0 :mx=0 :af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct :lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/log :cd=/var/spool/lpd/lp :lp=/dev/lp0 :ifhp=model=hpdj650,a4,portrait :if=/usr/lib/ifhp/ifhp : Thanks again, and sorry for so newbie questions. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST The address you post from MUST be your subscription address If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.
