One can network 20 computers with w2000 for less than the cost it takes Hewlett Packard to come over for three days to make your $80 Linux lan print properly. It says here. Steve. </smallprint>
Well, it only took me five minutes to get my lan printing properly with Linux... which is a lot cheaper than buying the 20 copies of W2K, even at my consulting rates... but then, I'm one of those elitists. :-)
Well, c'mon then. Tell us how it's done! I too am elite. I use 8.1. But the hard way, r'ing tfm nfs, nis, autofs. . .I'm totally computer illiterate.
I bought a cheap $40 print server from Hawking Technologies and attached it to my Canon BJC-6000. Gave the print server an IP and then used Yast2 to configure the printer (remote lpd print queue pointing to the printer server IP. Done.
Exactly what I did except mine's an OKI print server. Send several print jobs from various clients at the same time and it locks up. The only way to unblock it is to ssh to the client and do a rccups restart. The amount of time it takes to do this is small so I don't really mind. To be able to solve it would take much longer. I think this is where the original post left us.
