/usr/sbin/lpinfo -v shows me the following infomation
#-----------snap begin------------#
network socket
network http
network ipp
network lpd
direct parallel:/dev/unknown-parallel0
direct usb:/dev/usb/lp0
...
direct usb:/dev/usb/lp15
network smb
#---------snap end-----------#
After that I did
LIJIANG:/home/lover# /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p serverPrinter -v
smb://maxsource:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/SHARPAR- -P /root/ppp.ppd
lpadmin: add-printer (set model) failed: client-error-not-found
I went to http://localhost:631/admin and under Printers I can see
serverPrinter is there. I started the printer and hit "Print Test
Page". But the test page never get printed out. I Configure the Printer
but the web-browser tells me "client-error-not-possible". After that I
did Modify the printer but I can not find model driver for my WIndows
XP printer SHARP AR-158S.
The printer's diver is already on Windowx XP server. Do I still need to
install the linux driver on my Debian box? I searched in
http://www.linuxprinting.org and google, but can not find and linux
driver for SHARP 158S driver. Does this means I can not share the
printer with my co-workers, simply because I use the different System?
Can any of you help me please?
Thanks,
Rocky
