Further to my previous post.

I tried the following:

LIJIANG:/usr/share/doc/samba-doc# lpadmin -p serverPrinter -h
192.168.1.14 -i -v smb://server/ppp -P /root/ppp.ppd
enable serverPrinter
accept serverPrinter
lpadmin -d serverPrinter
lpadmin: Unable to connect to server: Connection timed out

Thanks,
Rocky
