Hi!
I am trying to set up a printer server
(SAMBA 2.2.8 package on 4.8 -RELEASE, printer is a Kyocera
FS-3700+ laser printer) which should be accessible from Win2000
and WinNT4 workstations _without_ any authentication.
These are the steps I have taken so far:
1. I used apsfilter to make the kyocera work locally as a
postscript-printer called lp .
2. (Sorry - stupid me forgot to bring home a copy of smb.cfg over
the weekend)
I edited smb.cfg so that the printer-server and lp itself can
be seen in Windows' network enviroment, i.e. I set
security = share
and put up a share called
[printers]
browseable = yes
path = /var/spool/lpd/lp
read only = yes
printable = yes
guest ok = yes
and I
# chmod -R 4777 /var/spool/lpd/lp
3. I used windows' printer setup to install the kyocera driver
for lp
4. When I try to print something, everything looks fine from the
client side and I can see some blinking of the
printer-server's LED's but nothing more happens.
The windows printer queue stays empty, no files are created in
/var/spool/lpd/lp
Any ideas, what could be done next?
Uli.
