Can anyone help???
I have been trying to get printing from a windows machine to the samba
server to work...but I just can't seem to get it...
my /etc/printcap.smb file looks like this:
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
smb:\
:cm=Samba Printer:\
:lp=:rm=131.93.0.249:rp=PORT1:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/upstairs/:\
:lf=/usr/spool/lpd/upstairs/errs:sh:
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
my smb.conf file looks like this:
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[global]
printing = bsd
printcap name = /etc/printcap.smb
print command = lpr -r -P %p %s
load printers = yes
log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
lock directory = /usr/local/samba/var/locks
[printers]
comment = Samba Printer
path = /var/spool/lpd/upstairs
browseable = no
printable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Does there seem to be anything wrong with these configurations?
I can print while logged into the samba server itself but when I try to
print from a windows machine an error pops up that tells that the
solution to this problem it to reboot the machine. That doesn't work.
Thanks for your time.
