May be , something wrong while configurating your printer with printtool
certainly :
The domain name for example is like that : "MYDOMAIN.COM" and not
"mydomain.com" .
Be careful on the name of the ressource under Win , a printer can be called
"HP-Printer1" in the Network Neigh.... and the real name of the shared
ressource is "HP-Printer1-PCL" .
See the properties ...
See if you can log on the service via "smbclient \\\\SERVER\\service -U
my_login -W MYDOMAIN.COM" .
Now reconfigure the printer with "printtools" .
After that restart your lpd daemon with "printtools" ( or
/etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd restart ) and try printing a test page.
If you caught an error message like " lpr can't connect " ... go on you
console and launch "lpc" and type "down all" and after "up all".
If the printer is well configurated and have a network sock , try using the
Unix lp system instead of the SMB ,
it will be more quicker to print with than using SMB and a Micro$oft
machine.
As you want.
I hope that it will work .
Bye !
