Okay... seems I still cannot get anything working right with this as far
getting it to print. Here is the three different files which I would like all
to look at and see what I have screwed up since it refuses to print.
Here is the setup of the network:
HP 5L connected to Win95 - 192.168.0.1
Linux - Zeus - 192.168.0.3
-----------SMB.CONF FILE------------
; /etc/smb.conf
[global]
printing = bsd
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
guest account = nobody
invalid users = root
announce as = Win95
allow hosts = 192.168.0.3 192.168.0.4 192.168.0.1
remote announce = 192.168.0.255/GV2
remote browse sync = 192.168.0.255
security = share
workgroup = GV2
server string = %h server (Samba %v)
socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=4096 SO_RCVBUF=4096
encrypt passwords = yes
wins support = no
os level = 0
domain master = no
local master = yes
preferred master = no
name resolve order = bcast host wins
dns proxy = no
preserve case = yes
short preserve case = yes
unix password sync = false
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *New\spassword:* %n\n *Re-enter\snew\spassword:* %n\n *Passwor
max log size = 1000
[home]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = yes
path=/
writable=yes
public=yes
directory mask = 0775
[printers]
comment = All Printers
browseable = yes
path = /tmp
printable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
create mode = 0775
; A sample share for sharing your CD-ROM with others.
;[cdrom]
; comment = Samba server's CD-ROM
; writable = no
; locking = no
; path = /cdrom
; public = yes
;
[public]
comment=Zeus
path=/
only guest=yes
public=yes
writable=yes
printable=no
------------PRINTCAP FILE-----------------
# Printcap Configuration File
lp|hplj5l|HP Laserjet 5L:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hplj5l:\
:mx#0:\
:af=/var/log/hpl5jl-acct:\
:lf=/var/log/hplj5l-errs:\
:if=/usr/bin/smbprint:\
:sh:
------------SMBPRINT FILLE----------------
#!/bin/sh -x
(
echo "print -"
/etc/magicfilter/ljet4l-filter "$@"
) | /usr/bin/smbclient "\\\\GOD_SERVER\\HP5L" -I 192.168.0.1 -N -P
> /var/log/smbprint.log
So... here is the problem. The linux cannot print out to the HP Printer 5L
that is connected to the Windoze. And top of it off... The Win95 clients
cannot even browse or get inside the Linux directories at all. Reason I have
the IP addresses in there is for secure method of allowing certain hosts to
have free access into the Linux to do the work even at the top. But the good
news is... I can mount the 2 Windoze shares on the Linux using Smbmount and
edited the samba start-up/shutdown files to mount and unmount them on the fly
with no problem. So... the printing and the Win95 access into the linux is
what I needed to make this work and I will be so happy that I can leave this
behind and start focusing on other tasks. It would be nice if there is a way
to mount the printer to the port on Linux instead of this way as it is right
now. So... anyone who can edit this configuration and make it work like I
wanted would be very much appreciated. Thanks for your time.
