[NTLUG:Discuss] samba concept question

[Bobby Wrenn]

Here is the printcap for my Samba printer. I print from all Linux boxen
to the printer attached to Windoze 95. Your system needs to know where
the printer is. If you are using RedHat run "printtool" and it will
configure everything for you. You can also work the other way anround
and connect the printer to a Linux box and share it with Samba.

##PRINTTOOL3## SMB cdj550 300x300 letter {} DeskJet550 32 1
lp:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
        :mx#0:\
        :sh:\
        :lp=/dev/null:\
        :af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct:\
        :if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:
