Hello,
I have a Linux box with 2 printers attached and 1 scanner. One printer connects
with LPT1, the other with USB and the scanner is USB also.
I want to share all these within my local network. For that, I installed Samba.
When I start the Linux box, the parallel printer starts to print rubbish. I
supposed that was a problem with the printer itself, but I switched on alone
without the printer connection and was Ok. The thing starts when starts the
Linux. I observed that there is a daemon, lpd, that is started with Linux. I
killed it from the command line, but the printer continues to print rubbish.
I tried to share them within the LAN I have. It is composed of the Linux box and
2 Windows machines. The 2 printers are 'seen' by the two Windows
machines, but when I install the drivers for them a message appears:
"Access denied".
I copy the smb.conf file I have here:
[global]
encrypt passwords = yes
workgroup = WORKGROUP
[HPLaserJ]
printable = yes
print command = /usr/bin/lpr -r %s
printer = /dev/lp0
printing = BSD
read only = yes
guest ok = yes
[Stylus740]
printable = yes
print command = /usr/bin/lpr -r %s
printer = /dev/usb/lp0
printing = BSD
read only = yes
guest ok = yes
[test]
Comment = Testeo de Samba
path = /hda3
valid users = juan jose
read only = no
The printers are HP LaserJet 1100 (parallel) and Epson Stylus Color 740I (USB).
The scanner is an HP ScanJet 2200c (USB).
I have already installed the respective drivers in the Windows machines.
Maybe I have to put a different configuration in smb.conf.
I will wait your answers.
Thanks in advance.
Juan
