Hi,
I checked the archives, but couldn't find this question:
I have two printers set up on my RedHat Linux 6.1 box, called lp0 and lp1 (original, huh?). Anyway, I want both of these printers to be visible
and browsable on the network. I have the following relevant lines in my smb.conf file:
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
While I can net use to the printers, they don't show up in a net view or when I look at the Network window on the Windows desktop. Do I need
to specify each printer I want to be publicly visible, or am I missing something?
Thanks.
JBB
