Hi, PROBLEM : I'm not able to use the printer connected to a windows 2000 machine. INSTALLATION: I have 3 PCs. - One is a windows 2000 PC with the printer connected to it - One is a redhat machine - One is a Suse 9.0 machine. The redhat machine is able to print to the samba printer, not the Suse one. smbclient -L //secretariat shows identical data on both Linux machines Domain=[TUX-NET] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- IPC$ IPC Remote IPC D$ Disk Default share print$ Disk Printer Drivers HPLaserJ Printer HP LaserJet 4 ADMIN$ Disk Remote Admin C$ Disk Default share Server Comment --------- ------- SECRETARIAT Workgroup Master --------- ------- TUX-NET SECRETARIAT on the Suse machine this command line prints "ouf" to the printer correctly.
echo -en "\rouf\r\f" | smbclient "//secretariat/HPLaserJ" "tugudu" -c 'print -' -N -U "denis"
In other words everything works but I'm not able to create a printer connection with Yast2. When I lookup hosts it gives the IP of the windows machine and never accept the queue name (HPLaserJ) Ideas ? thanks Denis
