Printing to a WinNT shared printer using LP & SAMBA...

["Brant Wells" <dafyre@hotmail.com>]

Howdy y'all :)

I've got timidity & the packages installed ( and the MIDI files sound 
good!!).  Now... I've one more tiny ( I hope problem...)

A while back, I sent out an e-mail asking how get linux to print to a 
network printer...I never had a chance to get it working... my Linux box 
kept crashing (cause of things I did...) and I had to wait for CD's to 
come in...

I need to know how to setup Linux to print to an nt printer set up to 
share as:

\\dahouse\HPDESKJE

.
I've got Samba installed & working properly (and the SMBMOUNT), also, 
I've got LPR installed...my /etc/printcap file looks like this:

lp|HPDeskjet:\
        :lp=/dev/null:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
        :df=/etc/filter.ps:\
        :tf=/etc/filter.pcl:\
        :af=/var/log/lp-acct:\
        :lf=/var/log/lp-errs:\
        :pl#66:\
        :pw#80:\
        :pc#150:\
        :mx#0:\
        :sh /usr/bin/netprint

************************************

My /usr/bin/netprint script looks like:

smbclient \\\\dahouse\\hpdeskje shadowgate.com -U BW07442 -P -c 'print 
-'

Anybody see anything I can do to help?

Thanks,
Brant
