Hello, So far things are going well. I've got samba up and running finally. It needs a little tweaking still, but it's working. I've got an HP OfficeJet G55 all-in-one printer connected to the samba server. I installed it using cups for the print manager. Behind the server I've got 3 win2k clients. I installed drivers locally on each client for the printer and set them to send print jobs in raw mode. That has been working fine so far. They bought this particular printer so they could scan and make copies at the office. In the supported printers section it mentions that scanning is supported on this printer via sane. So, if I install the proper sane drivers and so forth to get scanning to work under 8.1, is it then possible for me to configure each client to be able to scan via samba/sane or samba/raw data? I've been looking for mentions of this in the samba doc's and mailing lists and haven't come up with anything. If it's not possible via samba, does anyone have any idea how this might work?
I mean, I suppose I could reconfigure the network a little bit, connect the printer to a win2k client and set it to do the sharing. That way I should be able to scan fron each client machine using native windows drivers. That's how I originally had the printer connected. I found that printer sharing is a LOT more stable under samba when it's working vs. win2k peer-to-peer though. Besides, the idea is to eliminate the need to utilize any peer-to-peer functions on this network. I'd much rather enable scanning via the server if possible. Anyway, thanks for your time, Ken __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE video emails in Yahoo! Mail! http://promo.yahoo.com/videomail/
