I've been trying fruitlessly to get my Samba-shared Minolta PagePro 1250W (via a RedMon+GhostScript adapter - it looks like an HP LaserJet 4100 PS to the outside worls) working on this box. I've followed the directions in TLDP's "Debian and Windows Shared Printing" HOWTO, section 3 (can't post the URL - not enough posts), which worked on my old SuSE 8.2 box. I'm using the PPD from LinuxPrinting.org, and I've tried the HP LaserJet 4100 Series v.3010.107 driver included with Mandrake. Here's the command sequence I entered (some stuff obfuscated):
Code:
smbclient -I 192.168.0.100 -L tom-u1dmruu1mgp -U Eric
When prompted for my password, I gave it, and got this:
Code:
added interface ip=192.168.0.101 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Password:

I then entered the following sequence of commands, being asked for my root password several times:
Code:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p Minolta -v smb://Eric:*****@192.168.0.100/MINOLTA -P /home/bhtooefr/HP-LaserJet_4100-Postscript.ppd
/usr/bin/enable Minolta
/usr/sbin/accept Minolta
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -d Minolta
After this, I went to the page for the printer, and printed a test page. I got this error message: cli_session_request() failed...
I'd upload some screenshots, but I don't know how to use rz/sz over SSH (or period) on Linux, and since I only paid $1 for my SDF account, not $36, I can't use FTP. I'll work on switching the driver, and reporting the results there, though.
