[Samba] progress :) still having trouble with win98 seeing shares on samba

[Joel Hammer]

Is the printer a postscript printer?  If so, an easy approach is:

cat file | enscript -Z -p - | smbclient //server/printershare -N -c "print -"

Or, if text files are printing ok except for the staircase, this might work:

cat file | sed "s/.*/&\r/" | smbclient //server/printershare -N -c "print -"

You can also put this command into a print filter, without the cat file |
part, and get the same result. You will have to supply the complete path
name of the smbclient program, however.

This has been discussed recently on this list. Check the archives, starting
at samba.org.

If you need more help about print filters, try the LPRng documentation
or read the filter primer I wrote at the linux stepbystep site (search
there for "hammer filter").
