References: <000d01bf8ddc$3430d400$0400a8c0@davemehler.tzo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I didn't see your earlier thread, so here goes... If the printer is a stand-alone network printer, then you don't need samba at all. You just need an entry similar to the following in your printcap file: lp:\ :sh:\ :rm=\ :rp=raw:\ :sd=/var/spool/output/lp:\ :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: 'rm' means remote machine 'rp' means remote print queue name The JetDirect print servers do the LPD protocol. JetDirect print servers have a queue named 'raw'. And you need the IP protocol enabled on it. If the HP printer is plugged into a Windows machine, then you need samba, and you need to provide more information about how the Windows box is setup. dave wrote: > Hello, > I posted a few days ago about wanting to print to my remote hp printer. > Well, I'm using samba, smbprint, and an entry in /etc/printcap to do the > job, see section 7.2 of the online book: using samba, for what I did.
