Just bought a network color laser (HP 4500N) and trying to figure out how to share it with all administrative users. Where should I start looking for info. ==========================================Charles Lewis, Director of Administrative Computing Southwestern Adventist University, Keene, TX (817)556-4720 lewisc@swau.edu FAX (360)397-7952 ===========================================
I just set up my printers as plain text printers, make them available via Samba, and have the print filter on each Windows client. There are other ways you can do it, but probably hp didn't send you a Linux print filter, so filtering on the Windows end is the easiest.

Where should I start looking for > info.I have a HP 4500DN here, and I share it with samba quite happily. Samba provides the actual share, and the printing on the UNIX side is handled by LPRng. Here are the relevant sections from my config files:- /etc/printcap:- LJ4500C-RMG7:\ :cm=Colour LaserJet 4500DN in Room G7:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp7:\ :lp=123.45.67.89%9100:\ :sh:sf:\ :lf=log:af=acct:\ :if=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp:\ :mx=0 /etc/smb.conf:- [LJ4500C-RMG7] comment = Colour LaserJet 4500 path = /var/spool/smb_print min print space = 10000 print ok = Yes print command = lpr -r -b -P%p %s printer driver = HP C LaserJet 4500-HP HTH, Mike.
