Hello, I am *new* to linux and want to share a local Lexmark Optra Plus on a windows 2000 computer, windows 98 computer and windows 95 computer. All 3 computers should have printing access to the printer so we can print text, pictures, ect. I would like to know what changes should i make to smb.conf in order for the computer to work. So far i have it to the point where the linux machine can print documents, and I see the machine and can acess the machine in windows 2000 only, not the windows 95 or 98. I click on the pritner add it to my printer folder and then it says it is ready but when i click print it says cannot write to printer... retry on cancel... I just wanted to know what i should do to get it working thanks.. Colin -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
Hmmmm.... This should be easy. Have you installed the printers in windows? You have to go through the add printer icon, add a network printer (your samba printer) and install the drivers as per usual. I use /tmp as the path, just because that was the default I think. /tmp is the directory where the job is stored after it is sent from the client to the samba server. /dev/lp0 is the device on my linux server that the printer is connected to. The printing process, crudely, involves windows filtering your job and sending it to the samba server. The job is stored in /tmp/XYZ on the samba server. Then, lpr is invoked according to the print command in your smb.con. %s is the name of the temporary file in /tmp. lpr -Plp %s invokes lpr to send %s to the lp print queue. It all makes sense, and understanding this is crucial to troubleshooting, but they never tell you this stuff. You always have to figure it out.

Like most things in linux, it feels so GOOD when the pain stops. Joel On Thu, Nov 15, 2001 at 09:13:30PM -0800, Colin Correia wrote:> Got my printer to work!! Joel!! it was so easy!!!

Hello All, I have a question here, I installed Samba 2.2.2, and I haven't installed printer on my server ( I don't need printer ), but when I browse the share from Windows 2000, I still get 'Printers' entry though it is a fake. Even I disabled printer support in source code, I still can't disable the Printer entry displyed on Win2K.Is it a Win2K problem or is there any way to really disable the printer in samba server. Thanks in advance. Juer
Thanks. I tried it already, it didn't work. The problem is only from Windows2000, if I try to access it from Windows98, I won't see that.

I'll work on something for this tonight. You should poke around the lprng documentation, which will have info on setting up your printcap file and printer queue. samba really doesn't play any role here except to supply the smbclient print command, which ideally, will be used in your print filter. (I use lprng. You may have different printer software.) Is your printer postscript? What is the printer you are using? Which applications do you want to print from? Can you print using the command I gave you to try?

This is a very elementary question that has probably been asked and answered. If this is the case and someone could point me to the answer, that would be great as I have not been able to find it. My problem is this: I am a college student running Red Hat Linux 7.3. My roommate is running Windows XP. We only have one printer between us and would like to be able to share it. As of now, however, I have been able to see all the other files she has shared, but not the printer. If anyone could point me to directions on how to share printers, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for all your help. Stephanie
