I'm trying to set up a print server on a RedHat 7.2 box to share a
number of printers at my location with the Win 95/98 machines. I can
see the printers and I can install the printers but the test page print
is failing. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I can print to
this "test" printer fine from the server so I know the printer is
installed correctly.
Thanks,
Bryan
Here's the smb.conf file:
(I also want to use this server as a file sharing solution which is why
the [homes] is there... I haven't even started to work on why it doesn't
work yet!)
