I apologize has been discussed, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I'm
trying configure my samba/debian box to allow printing to a shared printer
on a win95 machine. Any help is appreciated.
In printcap:
ljsaturn|HP Laserjet 6P
:rm=saturn.ois.swau.edu
:rp=hplj6p
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/ljsaturn
:mx#0
:lp=/dev/null
:sh
:sf
I can print from another Windows machine (through samba) but when I'm on the
samba server and type 'lpr -P hplj6p /etc/samba/smb.conf' for instance, I
get the following errors:
sending job 'root at delta+4' to hplj6p at localhost
connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1
connected to 'localhost'
requesting printer hplj6p at localhost
error 'LINK_TRANSFER_FAIL' sending str '^Bhplj6p' to hplj6p at localhost
job 'root at delta+4' transfer to hplj6p at localhost failed
Anyone willing to help this newbie? :)
