mount a win printer

zchoyt · 04-13-2005, 07:07 PM

I am the only one at work that has a linux box. They are running a domain (WINNTDOM). I am able to mount all of my network drives, mail servers, and proxy servers, but I don't know how to set up a printer. Any hints? Examples?

Thx

What distrobution of linux are you running?

Look in the Samba help files.

In short:

Use "smbclient -L" to identify you printers network name.
Open http://localhost:631 (as root) and
install that share.

Again, see the samba documentation for help. (If you have the SWAT service running, http://localhost:901 gets you to the help files and Samba configuration.)

Enjoy.

Um, you didn't notice that he'd filled in the profile information.

But, of course, you didn't do that yourself, did you?

(You can update your profile from the main page. I think it's the "members" button.)
