Hi To be short, install LPR, configure samba-printer with yast2, give the IP and printer name if needed (get it in text-console with command "smbclient -L <laptop-ip>"). Then it should work. Jaska. On Friday 01 November 2002 00:16, Tom Nielsen wrote:
Here's the background info: My wife and I each have our own systems at home. She has a laptop with Win98 and I have 8.0. We're both connected to a router for our internet connection. I have been able to start Samba and have her see my hard drive (not that one! the one on my computer). So we can connect with each other. We have an HP 1170cxi that's attached to her laptop (both belong to her company).
So this morning I decided to share the HP that was connected to laptop so I could print from it. From my machine, I managed to use YAST and find the printer. But that's where the story ends. I could not figure out how to set it up in KDE under print manager. At one point I managed to find the printer but could not print anything to it, I think I used RLPR to do so.
My question is what do ya'll think I should use as a print system to do this? CUPS, Unix LPD, LPR or RLPR???
I found it strange that YAST could find the printer but KDE Printing Manager couldn't.
Feel free to start tossing ideas!!!
Thanks, Tom
