I have an Epson Styls COLOR 600 priter. My filter (with gs) and printcap of
my FreeBSD box is performing correctly when priting from my FreeBSD box.
However, I can't print from my Win98 box.
I have samba installed (share mode), file sharing is fine, but I have
problem with printer sharing.
Which printer driver shall I install on the Win98 box? I tried install
Epson Stylus COLOR 600 driver, but it checks the printer status and show a
big cross (I think it means not ready, or no such printer) on its GUI. I
also tried installing HP postscript drivers, but it prompts for password
(what password? it is a share; file sharing doesn't ask for password, so
why printing does?) On the other hand, I successfully tested printing from
smbclient //xxx/xxxx -P.
Anyway, the following is my the setting in smb.conf:
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
guest ok = no
writable = no
printable = yes
Anything worong with it? It is from sam.conf.default, I did't make any
change for pritner.
I appreciate any assistance. Thank you very much in advance.
Happy New Year!
