Wireless Printing


Hi all,
I just recently put Slack 9 on my laptop, it had been running on my desktop, and I was wondering, how can I print using a wireless card? What do I need to do to add a remore printer?

Thanks

I am running Redhat 8.0.94. To access a network printer, you probably need to configure an NFS/SMB network. By setting my machine up as an SMB server/client, I can wirelessly access files on my WinXP machine, and it can access files on my Redhat machine. The WinXP machine can also print off my Redhat machine, but not vice-versa: the smb client program seems to be lacking.

I don't have much experience with NFS or CUPS. Maybe someone can help you configure a network with these servers/clients, but a network using these protocols will probably be inaccessable to a Windows machine.

I've got my printer on a Linksys wireless server, and I can print to it without any problem using CUPS. I just configured it in CUPS as a lpd and pointed to the IP address the server has.
