Well, I finally managed to setup samba printing... almost. smbprint seems well and good... if you have a postscript printer, which I don't. So, I just see stair-stepping, raw postscript on the win98 box printer I'm sending to. I've configured magicfilter to handle postscript with gs, but I'm having trouble integrating magicfilter with smbprint. I'm not much of an expert on shell scripting, so a little help would be appreciated. All attempts by me have resulted in... zero output on the printer. My /etc/printcap entry: #REMOTE HP Deskje...

...page works (even though it won't let me untick the "Use Printer Offline"...) But I need to make windows believe that i have a postscript printer (works better with Quark that way). So I added the (same) printer, but this time with the "Digital turbo printerserver 20/net"; (magicfilter on the Linux side will take care of the postscript->epson conversion). But printing through this printer does *not* work; it just queues up on the windows side !? Even when trying to un-tick "Use Printer Offline", windows claims that it cannot connect to the printer share in questio...

Hi there, For postscript printing, if the print server is on a Linux (Unix) box, I've very good experiences with 'MagicFilter'. This turns your spooler into a universal and flexible printer. Of course for postscript you need to have Ghostscript installed... Kees

Hi there, If the printer is connected to a W95 box the following information may help. 1) read the shell script '/usr/local/samba/smbprint', it provides info on how to setup the configuration files 2) install ghostscript, portable bitmap utils etc 3) install 'Magicfilter', it may need all of '2)' 4) modify the (last) lines in 'smbprint' to something like: ( # comment echo "print -" cat ) | /usr/spool/lpd/<printername>/<filtername> | /usr/local/bin/smbclient "\\\\$server\\$service" $password -U $server -N -P...

I am trying to allow printing from my linux box to my win98 box, to which my epson stylus printer is attached. It's just not happening...something tells me I'm flirting with a world of pain. I *can* print a file by going: smbclient //rory/EPSON translate print /etc/group but I cannot print from applications, nor can i use smbprint. I tried going: cat /etc/passwd | sh -x smbprint
