Okay... seems I still cannot get anything working right with this as far getting it to print. Here is the three different files which I would like all to look at and see what I have screwed up since it refuses to print.
Here is the setup of the network: HP 5L connected to Win95 - 192.168.0.1 Linux - Zeus - 192.168.0.3 -----------SMB.CONF FILE------------ ; /etc/smb.conf [global] printing = bsd printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes guest account = nobody invalid users = root announce as = Win95 allow hosts = 192.168.0.3 192.168.0.4 192.168.0.1 remote announce = 192.168.0.255/GV2 remote browse sync = 192.168.0.255 security = share workgroup = GV2 server string = %h server (Samba %v) socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=4096 SO_RCVBUF=4096 encrypt passwords = yes wins support = no os level = 0 domain master = no local master = yes preferred master = no name resolve order = bcast host wins dns proxy = no preserve case = yes short preserve case = yes unix password sync = false passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New\spassword:* %n\n *Re-enter\snew\spassword:* %n\n *Passwor max log size = 1000 [home] comment = Home Directories browseable = yes path=/ writable=yes public=yes directory mask = 0775 [printers] comment = All Printers browseable = yes path = /tmp printable = yes public = yes writable = yes create mode = 0775 ; A sample share for sharing your CD-ROM with others. ;[cdrom] ; comment = Samba server's CD-ROM ; writable = no ; locking = no ; path = /cdrom ; public = yes ; [public] comment=Zeus path=/ only guest=yes public=yes writable=yes printable=no ------------PRINTCAP FILE----------------- # Printcap Configuration File lp|hplj5l|HP Laserjet 5L:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/hplj5l:\ :mx#0:\ :af=/var/log/hpl5jl-acct:\ :lf=/var/log/hplj5l-errs:\ :if=/usr/bin/smbprint:\ :sh: ------------SMBPRINT FILLE---------------- #!/bin/sh -x ( echo "print -" /etc/magicfilter/ljet4l-filter "$@" ) | /usr/bin/smbclient "\\\\GOD_SERVER\\HP5L" -I 192.168.0.1 -N -P > /var/log/smbprint.log So... here is the problem. The linux cannot print out to the HP Printer 5L that is connected to the Windoze. And top of it off... The Win95 clients cannot even browse or get inside the Linux directories at all. Reason I have the IP addresses in there is for secure method of allowing certain hosts to have free access into the Linux to do the work even at the top. But the good news is... I can mount the 2 Windoze shares on the Linux using Smbmount and edited the samba start-up/shutdown files to mount and unmount them on the fly with no problem. So... the printing and the Win95 access into the linux is what I needed to make this work and I will be so happy that I can leave this behind and start focusing on other tasks. It would be nice if there is a way to mount the printer to the port on Linux instead of this way as it is right now. So... anyone who can edit this configuration and make it work like I wanted would be very much appreciated. Thanks for your time.
