Hello,
I'm trying to set up printing over samba to an HP845c printer
attached (usb) to a Win2K box on the network.
I did look smbclient to begin with, but this fails -
smbclient //<Win2KBox/<printer>
password: <supplied>
Domain=3D[<domain_name>] OS=3D[Windows 5.0] Server=3D[Windows 2000 LAN
Manager]
smb: \> print <filename>
putting file <filename> as <filename> (130.5 kb/s) (average 75.3 kb/s)
smb: \>
The printer initializes itself (the usual "about to print" noise)
Takes sheet of paper from paper tray
Printer stops
Manual Paper feed button light starts blinking
I press the blinking light button
One sheet is ejected, with one line (stepped) at the top
Any ideas as to what's wrong here? The document I tested is a simple
text file (/etc/hosts).
Failing this, I am aware that apsfilter and CUPS do have claims to
provide for what I'm trying here, but I'm wondering if anyone has ever
gotten this particular printer to work with either apsfilter or CUPS
before I start heading down that road.=20
I've looked at both respective home sites, and haven't seen the hp845c
"explicitly" mentioned as a supported printer (at either site &
ghostscript's website), although HP's linux printing webpages list it as
supported with something called HPIJS??
Thanks for any replies.
Stacey
