I've read in the documentation that Samba does not use ports like Win2k. So how does Samba know where to find a network printer if it has it's own IP address (stand-alone printer)?
I have created a printer in my /etc/printcap file: HP4000:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp4000:\ :mx#0: :sh:\ :rm:192.168.2.13:rp=raw: :rp=:\ added this to my smb.conf [printers] comment = All Printers printable = yes path = /var/spool/lpd browseable = no guest ok = yes public = yes read only = yes writable = no [print$] comment = Printer Download Area path = /etc/samba/drivers browseable = yes guest ok = yes read only = yes write list = @ntadmin, root, administrator I've used the APW to add the printer drivers into the appropriate directories: /etc/samba/drivers/W32X86/3: -rwxr--r-- 1 root domainadmin 136192 Aug 17 2001 HPCFONT.DLL -rwxr--r-- 1 root domainadmin 21866 Jul 21 2001 hpcljx.hlp -rwxr--r-- 1 root domainadmin 36622 Jul 21 2001 HPLJ4000.GPD -rwxr--r-- 1 root domainadmin 676352 Aug 17 2001 PCL5ERES.DLL -rwxr--r-- 1 root domainadmin 14362 Jul 21 2001 STDNAMES.GPD -rwxr--r-- 1 root domainadmin 698 Jul 21 2001 TTFSUB.GPD -rwxr--r-- 1 root domainadmin 252416 Aug 29 2002 UNIDRV.DLL -rwxr--r-- 1 root domainadmin 21225 Jul 21 2001 UNIDRV.HLP -rwxr--r-- 1 root domainadmin 197120 Aug 29 2002 UNIDRVUI.DLL -rwxr--r-- 1 root domainadmin 619520 Aug 17 2001 UNIRES.DLL and the driver has been assigned to the printer. I can add the printer to the workstations but the printer and the Samba PDC are not talking. How can I test this connection?
