I recently got this working Linux----> W2K with HP 1100 Samba should be working properly , use smbclient to try to poll Win98 Try not to password protect the Win98 Printer resource to ease troubleshooting. I used Printconf-Gui. I defined the Queue first and the type of printer which is Windows- SMB. Share : //windows_pc/printer_share Host IP: 10.10.10.10 Workgroup: windows_workgroup
Then I selected a printer driver under HP. Try to test print using "ASCII TEXT TESTPAGE". Please take note that with this setup I just got as far as printing simple text material. When printing complex WORD documents, it just prints garbage.
