Hi, I know how to print from Linux to Windows Printers, but how I print from Linux to a Remote Linux printing in the same server? Both are using samba, both saw their share files, but how do I configure samba to print to a remote Linux system???
I,m using Slackware 11.0 with an HP Deskjet 845 C in the remote slack, in the remote slack is working 100% fine, connected to the USB port and using cups.
But I will like to know, how I print from Linux to Linux?? and if it,s not so much to ask, how I print from Windows to a Linux Box????
Well, you could just share the printer as a Samba share (that's how you would print to it from windows to linux). Then the other slack box and windows could print to it.
Exactly what I want to know is how I make the Printer a samba share, I haven,t found any good text or explanation around for example if I do smbclient to the Linux that had the printer, I saw it in their share stuff with their name and so on, but if I use Lisa to saw the LAN I only see the folders I share in samba, but none printer I tried to add the printer to samba share, but how?? I cannot put some sort of new folder and call it the same way my printer is called, there obviusly had to be a way to do it.
By the time you use cups, you'd better use IPP for network printing. The simpler, the better.
Just open you cups port(631) and you can roll the raw printer data directly to cups.
I always prefer to configure my printing system with a GUI. Try kcontrol's Printers administration if you've got an X server on that machine.
ditto. cups automatically broadcasts out on 631 anyway, so no biggie. run the cupsd on both machines and they'll say "hey, I'm a client" "yo, I'm a server". Then they'll magically get along and print. Really. I've seen the tcp/ip packets.
Seriously. . .they'll broadcast to each other and it'll automagically work.
