ive been wondering the same thing, i know you need samba, but after that im totally lost too
|
I don't think I will be of much help myself but what printer are you using?
|
Hi,
Thanks you, I am using "HP LaserJet 1100" printer. |
Step 1. Share the Windows printer out as you would normally.
Step 2. You will need samba and samba-client and printing packages installed on your Linux box. Step 3. In 'printconf-gui' : queue name = lp0 driver = whatever_printer_you_have Share = \\servername\printername User = valid_windows_username Password = that_user's_password Workgroup = workgroup_or_domain HostIP= blank Queue Type = Windows Printer (SMB Share) |
Thanks KevinJ, That solved my problem and I didn't even have to ask! (Just did a search).
Odd thing is I also tried printing direct to the JetDirect network card and that failed. But printing throught the Windows server worked like a charm after following your settings! Thanks Steve |
