There is no need to have samba at all (if you want to have just for the sake of printing). I have print server running on Linux with windows machines connected to it. All I have done is that I use cups and cups-lpd. The configuration on the windows side is just like I would have done for printing to any other lpr printer.

Any advice? > > Setup raw print queue in CUPS, make samba loading cups printers (printing = cups). You'll see this raw printer as a share on your server. Than install printer drivers for windows boxes using any LPT port. After installing printer drivers open printer properties dialog and use "add port" button to change fake LPT port to your raw printer network share. I have used this for rh9 (print server) and win98 client boxes. > Another way to do it - read samba docs about installing samba print server for windows workstations. > -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
