hi,
i am using red hat linux 4.0 se in windows network , I am having toshiba e studio 45 and hp laserjet network printer configured in network .
i want to install these network printer on my pc , how i can install, is there any way to install , i also configured samba , but printers are directly connected in network and ip based not connected to windows box , so i should install it without using samba , i think so.
if any one knows pl help me.
thanks and regards

If I understand what you are trying to do, it sounds like you have two printers you want to connect to your linux Red Hat machine. I am a little confused about how they are connected now.

This sounds like the printers have a direct lan connection, and are not now connected to any specific box. Is this correct? Do you have the physical connections on the printers, either parallel port or USB port, to connect the printers to your linux machine? Is this what you want to accomplish? If yes, step one is to go to www.linuxprinting.org and find out if these machines are supported. If yes, then install Cups if it is not allready installed. Then add your printers to linux. Make sure they print locally, form yoru linux machine. Then you will need samba installed on linux, and share the printers so the windoze machines so they can print to the network printers. You will have to set up the network printing on each windows machine.

Samba is not required unless you want to use the RH PC as a print spooler for your windows boxes.
Are you running CUPS?
