Hi,
I'm having trouble accessing a shared printer in a linux box connetced
to a NT LAN. I'm running Mandarake 7.1 with samba 2.06 I don't hava any
trouble accessing any other shared resources. It's only the printer.
My smb.conf is as follows,
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
printing = bsd
[printers]
comment = All Printers
browseable = yes
public = yes
guest ok = no
writable = no
printable = yes
path = /var/spool/lpd/lp
printer = lp
and my printcap looks like this,
lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct:\
:lp=/dev/null:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:
I also tried to print without samba services. That's to print through
TCP/IP print services. But then I can see my machine getting connected
to the printer, but on the printer side it says that it's flushing it's
buffer ( oh, my documents ! ) I'm not sure if I have to configure
something from the NT server. But all the documents I referred had the
same settings as mine and they seem to work. By the way my printer is a
Lexmark Optra K 1220.
Please help,
Thanking in advance,
Dhammika
