Re: Need help configuring samba
That's funny, I've been using magicfilter for a long time and have a 560C at home
which works just fine printing stuff from Win95 through samba. When you say: "the
magicfilter package doesn't let win95 queue things in the format that the win95
driver outputs them" what exactly do you mean? Do you mean that the printer
prints something but it's garbage, or that the document doesn't print at all, or
what?
