Re: SMB printing problems - solved
Hello! Yeah, I finally managed to set it up!!! I threw the magicfilter into the trashcan and tried apsfilter. Not the .deb, but the newest (5.2 I think) version from the author's homepage. And that can automatically be configured to print via smbclient! It was so easy. I recommend it to all of you who have any similar problems. It just works great! No configuration work! No scripting! Almost easier than Windoze to set up ;-) (and working well though ;-)) !

Can anyone please help me how to set it up? I'm currently using lpr 5.9-29 (from hamm, I think) under a mixed slink/potato (glibc 2.1) system. Thanks, Kind regards, Stephan Hachinger
