Hello to everyone;
I'm new to the list. so please bear with me if this question has been asked
many times. I'm having problems configuring the printer setup. I did
compile the latest version of samba, but I could not find any documentation
on setting up the printer other than the info within smb.conf manpage.
I'm running Solaris 2.5.1 (fully patched) on a E3000. There's an OKI
printer configured and running. Here's the output of "lpstat -t":
1 wwinzer at Sun-E3000:~ ==> lpstat -t
scheduler is running
system default destination: okips1
device for okips1: /dev/okips1
okips1 accepting requests since Wed Sep 3 21:08:28 PDT 1997
printer okips1 is idle. enabled since Wed Sep 3 21:08:28 PDT 1997. available.
I've configured samba by using the default directory "/usr/local/samba".
What I've found out so far is setting up a "printcap" file BSD style.
With the print setup above what would the printcap look like? Does it
have to be under "/etc", or can I place the printcap file in a different
location
and specify it within the smb.conf file?
Besides the printcap file is there another print file that needs to be setup?
These are the only issues I have. I understand everything else and have no
other problems configuring samba.
Anyone's help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.
