Hi everyone,
My server set up nightmare continues... So far I have managed to install Redhat 7.2 and update it. I could just cry!! (But I will succeed!... one day) Anyway, I figured the first service I would configure would be printer server... easy huh? No way. I have 2 lexmarks printers, an Optra LX+ laser printer and a z25 colour Inkjet printer. I have downloaded and upacked the drivers. For the Inkjet, this was a prettystraight forward install and it's happily plugged in as /dev/usb/lp0. The laser printer untarred a folder called "drivers-linux-glibc2-x86"... which contained 2 rpms, which I installed. I thought the Optra LX would then appear in the list "select driver" section of the printer set up... Nope! 2 questions... 1. How do I get Linux to use the downloaded driver (assuming I ever find where it upacked to) 2. How do share them from the server end ?(I'm pretty confident about setting up remote printers from the workstations) What do I need to tell my server to make it a printer server? Thanks Mick Linux... 12 months on and I'm still a newbie... jeez -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
