Re: SMB as printer server: suggestions

[Mario Olimpio de Menezes <mario@curiango.ipen.br>]

Hi Jose,

	I have a Debian/GNU Slink serving as a print server here without
problems. I'm sending relevant portions of my smb.conf and printcap so you
can examine. 
	An observation: I installed the potato version of samba and used
swat to configure it. My clients are WFWG and Win9x. I have magicfilter
installed and it takes care of everything. I don't worry if clients are
printing Word,Excel,Or_Everything_Else docs.
