Samba and Windows printing
- Thread starter sproosy
- Start date
Here is how I have done it :
Enable Internet printing services on the windows box
share the printer
Use lpr to print from the unix box to the MS Win box :
ex : if your windows box is named I_HATE_BILL and the printer queue is GATES, you do :
lpr -dI_HATE_BILL:GATES file_name
Else, you could hook the printer to the Sun box and use samba to share the printer with the handicaped (windows) PC.
Hope this helps Too bad I.T. is not cash business
