Re: [TCLUG:15051] Reliable Linux/Samba print servers?



For small networks and printers it is possible to do a raw data printer and
install the windows drivers on the windows box. Make sure the printer is on
a network port instead of the printer port. Oddly enough, it works.

If you have a supported printer, even better. You can set up you printer as
normal, and share it as a ps printer, or again, you can do the raw option.
Or both.

In the past I've had the best luck setting up printers with apsfilter, but
lately that stoped working for me and I switched to magicfilter.

On another note, I've only goten printer sharing with samba to work when I
create a seperate printcap specifically for samba. /etc/smbprintcap.
