Hi Keith, present NT4 workstation on the parallel port, and the Lexmark printyer connects to/through the scanner to the PC.
So I was wondering if I had Samba running would I be able to print from the Linux machine through Samba to that printer (if still connected through the scanner on the NT4 PC)?
In theory, if it prints on NT, it should print jobs sent to it from a Linux machine. I always prefer NOT to daisy chain parallel devices, it is a hack, some combinations work, other don't.
It also raises the question, could I connect the scanner to the Linux PC, and the Lexmark printer through the scanner and have the printer work OK with Linux?
Depending on the scanner, the sane package may work. Again, I'd rather install a second parallel port if you want them both on the same machine. Best Regards, Keith -- LPIC-2, MCSE, N+ I can C for miles and miles Got spam? Get SPASTIC http://spastic.sourceforge.net
