load printers = yes
printcap name = cups
printing = cups
[printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = yes public = yes guest ok = yes writable = no printable = yes
and then I restart samba.
I then go to the windows system and to install network printer and browse for printer. The workgroup and the samba running Linux system are listed but no printers.
Where the hell is my printer?
the samba user guide states:
The printer drivers on the Windows clients may be installed in two functionally different ways:
*
Manually install the drivers locally on each client, one by one;
this yields the old /LanMan/ style printing and uses a
\\sambaserver\printershare type of connection.*
Deposit and prepare the drivers (for later download) on the print
server (Samba); this enables the clients to use “/Point'n'Print/”
to get drivers semi-automatically installed the first time they
access the printer; with this method NT/200x/XP clients use the
/SPOOLSS/MS-RPC/ type printing calls.The second method is recommended for use over the first.
I am trying to use the first and have no freaking idea what the "old lanman style" is.
Once again, linux documentation that assumes you already know everything.
So, how do I get the samba printer seen by Windows?
