Question Netbeui to print server in Linux


HI,
I have mandrake 9 installed and need to priint to an older print server.
Unfortunately it only responds to NETBEUi - not tcp, etc...

Is there any hope to access this server through Linux using an rpm to install netbeui or a substitute.

I don't want to have to boot to xp everytime I want to print on the network..
Thanks
Frodg

You can add a different print queue..
It will talk to JetDirect, Windows (smb), Unix & Novell by default.

I don't know the Mandy printer config system, but it will be in the options.
You will need to have 'smbclient' installed from the samba programmes.

Not too sure what you want to print and from which applications.

Take a look at Samba and see if that will give you what you need. Samba allows Linux to talk to Windows.

You can do a search on this forum and see if anything fits.

It doesn't matter where you print from, the Linux base system must have a print daemon running with a valid printer.
The print queue defines what drivers to use and conversions.

Do you have a commandline prog called 'setup' ?
