----------------Redhat printing Q&A ------------------------- "printer question. I have a windows XP box with a usb Epson 785epx photoprinter attached to it. I also have a RH 7.2 box that I want to print form."-Thanks in advance Bill
Hey Bill, I'm sorry you aren't having that much luck with Windows XP but what else would you expect? (just kidding) I've tried it with RH v8 without any issues just for fun; but instead I would have normally made it a network printer with hardware (like linksys or HP Jet Direct) First off, I would make sure you can print to the offending XP box from another w2k/XP box. Secondly, I would try connecting to the XP box (which you have done) with smbclient -L 192.168.0.x . Thirdly, start printconf or printconf-gui. In printconf-gui, of course choose a SMB Windows printer, then employ these settings::: SHARE: \\share_name\printer_name USER: <xp_login_name> HOSTIP:<192.168.0.x> PASSWORD: <xp_login_pass> WORKGROUP: <xp_workgroup>. Lastly, choose the LPR printing Daemon (default) instead of CUPS. Also, just to make it easier, make sure you are in runlevel 5. Good luck! and upgrade to version 8... :-P - MichaelQ ----------------end RH printconf ---------------- ===== -m1cha3l -------------------------------- MIKE *capitalized noun* 1.
