Fred Smith is correct - you want to set up just simple remote Unix
(lpd) printing rather than an smbprinter; you are printing from a
linuxbox to another linuxbox, rather than from / to a MS Windows
machine.
Run the RedHat Printer Tool on the workstation and set it up to
print to the remote server to which the printer is attached. Remember
to restart lpd after making changes to the /etc/printcap file.
The machine controlling the printer should list the hosts permitted
to access the printer in the /etc/hosts.lpd file. So, the server's
/etc/hosts.lpd should have an entry for your workstation.
Make sure that lpd is running on BOTH machines as a service.
Note that there is still a spool directory on the local machine man
aged by lpd. If the remote machine is busy or offline, print jobs
from the local machine wait in the spool area until they can be
sent.
Ensure that there is no firewall blocking TCP /port 515 between the
two machines.
Best,
Tom
