Re: SMB printing problems - solved
Hello!
Yeah, I finally managed to set it up!!! I threw the magicfilter into the
trashcan and tried apsfilter. Not the .deb, but the newest (5.2 I think)
version from the author's homepage. And that can automatically be configured
to print via smbclient! It was so easy. I recommend it to all of you who
have any similar problems. It just works great!
No configuration work! No scripting! Almost easier than Windoze to set up
;-) (and working well though ;-)) !
Kind Regards,
Stephan Hachinger
