I'm trying to print in Linux to this Windows-only printer. I'm using
LPRng. Both the printer and my windows interface (win4lin) are on the same LAN.
I've added a new printer device lp5 in /etc/printcap, with an if line for
the smbprint script when I send a command to that printer.
A logfile reports that the server name and service name are correctly passed to
the smbclient program. The printer's IP address is accessed successfully.
Unfortunately, the connection with the printer itself is refused.
Here's the text from the logfile that smbprint and smbclient generated.
I'm hoping that someone can help me to understand why the printer connection
is refused, and what can be done to solve the problem.
server BRN_44FE9E, service lp5

Is the problem that I need a printer driver in Samba, different from the one
being used in win4lin? If so, would Imprints be the right way to tackle this?
I'd also appreciate if you'd respond to me directly at:
