samba and windows printing
I have read a ton of how to, and still not been able to figure this out.
I want to be able to print from linux to a shared windows network
printer. Some of the important info:
pinter share name=deskjet
computer its on=sarah
workgroup=Wilson
I tried to follow the howto on this, but I am not sure how linux deals
with printer drivers. This printer is HP deskjet 694c I think. I made
a nenscript and a "print" script and put them in /usr/bin. If it is
important, I can attach thosescripts as well.
I'd really appreciate someone giving me a clear list of what I need to
do, this is the first time I've ever dealt with printing or samba.
