When i run smbclient i can see the Epson printer i want to connect to. Does anyone know how I can connect to it? i've installed the gimp-print drivers on my gentoo box but i'm a little confused about ppd's etc (its not as straightforward as windows)
heaven mark # smbclient -L MARIACOMPUTER -N

I've seen a website which suggests i type the following
lpadmin -p RicePrinter -v smb://rice/INKJET -P /root/inkjet.ppd
enable RicePrinter
accept RicePrinter
lpadmin -d RicePrinter
but i dont have any ppd files and visitng the linux printing project it says that the driver has the ppd file
(hence a little confused)
