Hello: I have an HP LaserJet III attached to my FreeBSD 4.4 server's parallel port. I set up lpd so that I can print files out from the server using lpr. I have also set up samba with directories shared out to my windows machines. However, I cannot figure out how to set up samba to allow the windows machines to print to the LaserJet III. I got it to the point where it is listed in network neighborhood, but I cannot print. I am assuming that I set up the samba spool directory or permissions wrong. Could someone tell me how to set up smb.conf and the directory permissions to get printing to work using the samba guest account? Assume I am an idiot. :-) Below is my /etc/printcap file. I don't want to paste smb.conf because it is way too long, and it does not work. lp|HP LaserJet III:\ :sh:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :if=/usr/local/libexec/if-simple: Here is the /usr/local/libexec/if-simple script: #!/bin/sh printf "\033&k2G" && cat && printf "\033&l0H" && exit 0 exit 2 Thank you, Marco Radzinschi E-Mail: marco@radzinschi.com AOL IM: CrackedBoy Running FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE i386 10:27PM up 9 days, 23:50, 1 user, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
