I am trying to print fron Win98 via Samba onto a parallel printer attatched to a RedHat Linux box. Can anyone point me to a Howto that will explain how to set this up? I have been unsuccessful in finding one so far. Regards, Brad
Hi Brad,
It is pretty simple: First, make sure you can print in Linux.
Them, add the following to your smb.conf and restart samba.
--Tony
aewell@gbis.com
[global]
; Tony note: remember to use CAPS in the princap for the smb share name
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
printing = BSD
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
public = yes
guest ok = no
writeable = no
printable = yes
