Re: printing to a remote debian host?

hi ya

on the linux box with the local printer...
( call it lpserver )
	#
	# look for sd, lp and some kind of "input filter"(if)
	#
	lp|phaser|:\
           :sh:\
           :ml=0:\
           :mx=0:\
           :sd=/var/spool/lpd/phaser:\
-->>       :lp=/dev/lp0:\
           :lpd_bounce=true:\
           :if=/usr/share/printconf/mf_wrapper:

	-- dont forget to stop and start the lpd

	-- what is the output of "lpc status"

	-- did it print a file ??   
		lpr -Phaser /etc/printcap

your printcap on the remote linux box looks fine..
( call it lpclient )
	> lp|phaser|Tektronix Phaser 560:\
	>    :sh:\
	>    :sd=/var/spool/lpd/phaser:\
-->>	>    :rm=192.168.0.10:\
	>    :rp=raw:

	-- dont forget to stop and start the lpd

	--  what is the output of "lpc status"

	-- did it print a file ??
		lpr -Pphaser /etc/printcap

for your linux printer server... lets make it lpserver...that windoze is
trying to connect to it... 

lpserver#  vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
	...

	encrypt passwords = yes
	smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd

	...

	[homes]
	   comment = Home Directories
	   path = /opt/home
	   browseable = no
	   writable = yes

	....
	# NOTE: If you have a BSD-style print system there is no need to
	# specifically define each individual printer
	[printers]
	   comment = All Printers
	   path = /var/spool/samba
	   browseable = no
	   # Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print
	   guest ok = no
	   printable = yes
	   print command = /usr/bin/lpr -r  %s ;  rm %s
	   #
	   # name of the samba'ized printer
	   #
	   printer = xerox
	   printing = BSD
	   read only = yes

	-- restart samba

	-- what is the output of "testprns xerox /etc/printcap"

	=== in order for Windozed to see the "xerox" printer connected
	=== to lpserver in their network neighborhood... you need to 
	=== define your samba passwd
	==	( try to make it different from your ssh login and 
	==	your windoze login 
	===
	===	lpserver#  cd /etc/samba ; smbpasswd  <you>
	===

now fire up   MS word ... and print a couple sentences to the pritner...
	and than do "Add (network) Printer" to your list of printers
 	( it should have its own printer drivers )
