smbprint



Hi Anthony,

As a linux newbie, that was one of the easier things I thought. Anyway,
here's how I did it...

At the windoze box set up the attached printer as a "share". Then in
your smb.conf file uncomment the default printer stuff, mine looks like
this:

[printers]
    comment = All Printers
    path = /var/spool/samba
    browseable = no
# Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print
    guest ok = no
    writable = no
    printable = yes

My setup has everyone in the network printing to an epson 600 on
attached to a windoze95 machine.

As far as I know, that's it.

Good Luck,
Phil
