Sharing a WinPrinter with SAMBA
I've been attempting to share an icky "windows only" printer with samba.
(lprng)
Right now, the /etc/printcap looks like:
(pulled out of the samba documentation)
raw:\
:rw:sh:
:lp=/dev/lp0
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/raw
:fx=flp
The printer share from smb.conf is:
[DeskJet820]
security = share
path = /var/spool/lpd/raw
printer name = raw
writeable = yes
public = yes
printable = yes
print command = lpr -b -Praw %s
Doing a `modprobe lp` detects the printer, so it is there and ready (or
should be), so according to the documentation, it should work. But it
isn't. Any ideas?
