Hello. I've installed Linux 2.2.1 on my machine, but I have no printer connected via LPT. The printer (HPOffice JetPro 1150) is installed on another machine running Bill's stuff. It seems it is possible to access the printer via NetBios. I read the doc comming with Samba and tried to configure smb.conf. I always get the following answer to my command smbclient -L \\Serge (Serge is the Win95 machine): ********************************************************************* Added interface ip=162.38.204.8 bcast=162.38.204.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Server time is Tue Mar 23 13:46:02 1999 Timezone is UTC+1.0 security=share SMBtconX failed. ERRSRV - ERRinvnetname (Invalid network name in tree connect.) Perhaps you are using the wrong sharename, username or password? Some servers insist that these be in uppercase ************************************************************************* I have two questions : 1. Is it necessary to run a Samba Client for Windows on the machine with the printer, or the Windows95 software is enough ? 2. How must I configure my machine to access the other's printer ? Thank you for your help. Petru NOTINGHER
