Hi there,
Sorry if you think I am butting in here but I am very interested in setting
up Linux as a print server on
my own system. I have no problem setting up with the server connected
locally via parallel port but how
does one set about using a network connected printer such as a HP Ljet with
Jetdirect card installed. Do
you just point to the TCP/IP address instead of lp0? I have already used
this method and it hasn't worked for me.
I could not find any help in the HOW-TO or from HP.
Any help appreciated......

In the section Network, install the package Samba.
then, edit /etc/inetd.conf, and scroll to the bottom, where it says: swat (swat stands for Samba Web Administration Tool) remove the # before that line, safe the file, and restart inetd, by typing: /sbin/init.d/inetd restart Then,.. fire up Netscape (you did install that, didn't you? :) and point it to http://localhost:901/ login as root, and tadaa! An online tool, with help directly availiable :) Start with the Globals section, and then test it by starting smbd and nmbd in the status part. Standard it automaticly exports all printers availiable forlinux, you can set up your printers with Yast.
Ps, there is a difference with trying to serve for win95, or for win2k, 98, and 95sp2: the latter need samba to understand encrypted passwords. You can also disable the encrypted password part, by setting the proper registry key on your windows machines (if it aren't too many of them)
Good luck
Jan
What would be required to set up a Linux host (in my case SUSE 6.1) as a print server?.
