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!
