Printing to a Windows machine
Now that I've got samba working, I'm trying to print to Windows via samba, but it's not working.
The funny thing is that when I run the following command, it will print “Hello”. But it does not work through CUPS
echo -en "\rHello\r\f" | smbclient "//computer/Printer2" -c "print -" -N
When I setup my printer through YaST (via SMB Network Server), after I enter the hostname, remote queue, and username, the “Test Remote SMB Access” works fine. However, when it comes to running the test print, nothing happens.
Samba is configured as follows:
/etc/samba/smb.conf
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2007/07/15 21:40:53
