I apologize if this has been discussed already or if this is off topic, but
I'm still learning samba and I can't figure out this problem. I'm trying
configure my samba/debian box to allow printing to a shared printer on a
win95 machine. Any help is appreciated.
In printcap:
ljsaturn|HP Laserjet 6P
:rm=saturn.ois.swau.edu
:rp=hplj6p
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/ljsaturn
:mx#0
:lp=/dev/null
:sh
:sf
I can print from another Windows machine (through the samba share
\\saturn\hplj6p). However, when I'm on the samba server and type 'lpr -P
hplj6p /etc/samba/smb.conf' for instance, I get the following errors:
sending job '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1
connected to 'localhost'
requesting printer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
error 'LINK_TRANSFER_FAIL' sending str '^Bhplj6p' to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
job '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' transfer to [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed
Is this a samba config problem or a printcap config problem?
