printcap (HP Laserjet 6P) and samba
I have a linux box that I'm trying to set up for file & print serving for
our university administration, but I fear that my ignorance/newbieness is
causing me some grief, and I'm craving some experienced advice.
Anyone have an example printcap for an HP Laserjet 6P that has been shared
on a remote Windows printer? This is what I currently have. Anyone see
anything missing/incorrect? Shouldn't I specify a printer driver somewhere
if I want to be able to print from the server?
ljsaturn|HP Laserjet 6P
:rm=saturn.ois.swau.edu
:rp=hplj6p
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/ljsaturn
:mx#0
:sh
:sf
Also, though I've tried to digest the smb.conf documentation, I'm still not
sure I understand everything. For instance, one of the many questions I have
is how are passwords managed? Would someone be willing to look my smb.conf
over?
