Morning... Just spent this evening getting printing setup off my FreeBSD machine (oh, how I love Solaris at these times *groan*)...got it now so that I can print directly from Netscape, color and graphics and all. The printer is an HP 560c. Now, I want to be able to print from my Windoze95 machine, and have samba setup for that, as well as file sharing. If I setup my Windoze machine such that my printer is \\thelab\deskjet, which is the same printer (in /etc/printcap) that I use for Netscape under Unix, the test page gets sent across, but it isn't correct (graphic is all skewed). I'm figuring that there is something different that I must do with my printcap for a samba-shared printer vs local, but looking through the archives, can't find anything other then "use samba", so I ask here. My current entry is: deskjet:ps:PS:S:lp:HP DeskJet Printer:\ :sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/deskjet:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :if=/usr/local/libexec/ifhp:\ :lf=/var/log/log.printer: The if filter is the /usr/share/examples/hpif file, for piping postscript through ghostscript. On the Windoze side, I have the HP 560c drivers loaded, and a friend mentioned something about just wanted to pass it through straight, but getting rid of the if= line doesn't appear to help, so that's not doing it right :( What am I overlooking?
