We have a few LaserWriter 16/600 printers in our network (SUN/SGI/NT/Linux).
The entry in my printcap for that printer looks like:
lp5
:lp=laserwriter5
:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
:cm=Johan's printer
:sd=/var/spool/LPRng/laserwriter5
:lf=/var/log/LPRng/laserwriter5
:if=/usr/local.host/LPRng/bin/lpf
:mx#0
:sh
:sf
(note: this is from an SGI but that shouldn't make much difference). To print
to it through samba I use the following config file:
[global]
...
printing = bsd
printcap name = /etc/printcap
...
[printers]
comment = All Printers
browseable = no
printable = yes
public = no
writable = no
create mode = 0700
Why are you trying to print through appletalk? The LaserWriter 16/600 PS does
support bsd printing.
