The current version of cups for SuSE does not allow me to select
a printer hooked up to a Win98 machine. How do I fix this? Should I get the rpms from the CUPS site and completely remove the rpms that SuSE
Here is the problem after much searching. Either the SAMBA RPM's or the CUPS RPM's are not providing the smb backend. If you check /?/cups/backend/ there should be a smb backend that allows cups to get a samba connection. Now I checked the cups docs to see how to rectify this. It states to do a ln -s 'which smbspool' > /?/cups/backend/smb . I have tried this and it does not work. I have also tried to setup a spool by running smbspool //ARTEMUS/HP697C . This does not work. I am using the 2.0.9 samba rpm's from the 7.0 update directory and the default 1.1.6 cups rpm's from the 7.1pro cd. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have printed with SuSE's CUPS and Samba to a win98-machines printer. It is on 7.1pro and the SuSE-update of Cups to 1.1.6. Probably with SuSE's Samba 2.0.7 and the original samba-tarball of Samba 2.2.0. mvh... Morten Christensen
