assuming oyur printer is connected to the rh box... and
lets say your /etc/printcap looks something like...
lp|Xerox|Xerox DocuPrint:
:sh:\
:ml=0:\
:mx=0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/xerox:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:lpd_bounce=true:\
:if=/usr/share/printconf/mf_wrapper:
# or whatever incoming printer filter you are using
> The printer is set up through samba so some windows
> systems can get to it also.
means windoze is printing to its remote network printer ...
( samba stuff is working..
> Must the Debian system get to it as a samba printer,
> or can it just get to it as a linux networked printer?
vi /etc/printcap
#
rh|Printer on the RedHat Box:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/xerox:\
:rm=rh:
debian# ping rh -->> must resolve to the redhat box
debian# lpd stop and start it and you're done
debian# lpr -Prh /etc/printcap
