What's your printer name and model? Your printer is connected to your Windows machine right? You should be able to print from a Redhat PC without any problems.

If you want to use the Windows driver.. configure the driver as raw and the print command in smb.conf as ----------------------------------------------- print command= lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s ------------------------------------------------- > 3) I tried to add another printer (this time, redhat > has the driver for it).

They use ---------------- socket://hostname ---------------- instead of smb://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/printer . Be careful! Know the things you're dealing with! -> Look in your Windows machine in the printer panel and look at the properties of that printer... It will show you whether it's a Jet Direct or not. If it's a Jet direct there will be an IP address associated with it. -> Give us more details about the model! and the sharename, hostname, etc... If you give limited details, we can't be of much help ->You might wanna post to http://www.cups.org/newsgroups (cups.general) There are very helpful guys who are expert in CUPS. regards, Didier --- PhD student Singapore Synchrotron Light Source (SSLS) 5 Research Link, Singapore 117603 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://ssls.nus.edu.sg -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
