Re: printing over smb



An overview answer:

Run magicfilterconfig as normal to get a /etc/printcap entry for what ever printer you
are finally going to print with.

Then you need to set up a smbprint script that will be called by your /etc/printcap
whenever printing is done.

To see how to do this last step, install samba and go to /usr/doc/samba/doc/examples/
to find some example scripts.
Also read through some of the information in the ../doc directory.

I cant remember exact details as I am not (unfortunately) in Linux at the moment...
