Howdy,
I am new to Linux, and new at this mailing list thing, I
hope that I have subscribed to the correct list. I am not sure from the
posts I have received so far, if this is the most basic of the lists,
and, if it isn't just say so and I'll be gone.
I have installed Slackware 3.6 on my home machine, and have it connected
to my windoze machine. I have PPP, Ipmasquerading, and Samba working, more
or less I think. I have read the Print2Win, Linux printing, and related
HOWTO's, that I have found. I have an HP540 connected to my windoze,
running win95, and I am trying to get my Linux to print to that printer.
As far as I had managed, (and screwed up as well, ) is to add the lines
from the HOWTO to my smb.conf, and printcap. I am in the process of trying
to remove all that I had changed, to get a fresh start.
Since the lines in the HOWTO, appear to be specific to a different printer
setup, and I don't know what to change. Probably, if I could find an
archive somewhere, the answer would be there, since this seems to be a
common thing to want to do, but I haven't found what I need yet.
So, does someone have some direction on where to find the answer, or a
basic point to start at? It seems that someone else had done this before.
Thanks in advance, if this problem is not too trivial for this list.
