I am trying to allow printing from my linux box to my win98 box, to which my
epson stylus printer is attached. It's just not happening...something tells me
I'm flirting with a world of pain.
I *can* print a file by going:
smbclient //rory/EPSON
translate
print /etc/group
but I cannot print from applications, nor can i use smbprint. I tried going:
cat /etc/passwd | sh -x smbprint
but this is the output I get:
+ logfile=/dev/null
+ eval acct_file=${0}
++ acct_file=smbprint
++ dirname smbprint
+ spool_dir=.
+ config_file=./.config
++ cat ./.config
cat: ./.config: No such file or directory
+ eval
+ echo server , service
+ /usr/bin/smbclient /// -U -N -P
+ echo print -
+ cat
doesn't look right. if anyone's interested in helping, have a look at my
printcap file:
epson|epson stylus photo 1200:\
:lp=/dev/null:\
:br#57600:\
:rm=:\
:rp=:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/epson:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:if=/etc/webmin/lpadmin/drivers/epson.smb:
thanks!
