I know this may sound like an odd thing to do, but I have a printer on a Win98 machine that Win2k machines can't see
And I got to thinking surely Linux can print from an SMB printer and I've read all sorts of things but found nothing really conclusive on how to set this up. I've added the printer various different ways in /etc/printcap, including attempting to use smbprint from the SAMBA packages. I've got a LJ4500N with a jet direct card working fine from SAMBA but I can't for the life of me get this 1100 to work. Some config files: #LJ1100:\ # :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lj1100:\ # :mx#0:\ # :rm=smb://administrator:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/LASERJET1100 # :done_jobs=0:\ # :rp=:\ # :sh: #lj1100:\ # :ml#0:\ # :mx#0:\ # :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lj1100:\ # :af=/var/spool/lpd/lj1100/lj1100.acct:\ # :sh:\ # :lp=|/usr/share/printconf/util/smbprint:\ # :lpd_bounce=true:\ # :if=/usr/share/printconf/util/mf_wrapper: lj1100:\ :cm=Development LJ1100:\ :lp=/dev/lp1100:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lj1100:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/lj1100/acct:\ :mx#0:\ :if=/usr/local/samba/newer-smbprint.sh: I've tried the commented out ones aswell. # HP Laserjet 1100 Share.
