Hi, I have set up Samba without problem on File sharing. However, I have some problems with printing from Linux to Windows.
I am using Redhat 7.2 and Windows XP. I have setup my printer at Printer Configuration. I tried to print but nothing seems to have sent over to Windows. I checked /var/spool/lpd/NEC860 and I see a file has been created.
I tried to use smbclient and connect to the printer and able to send a print job using print command. So, connection between them are fine. My Windows printer is \\winserver\Nec. In Printer Configuration, I have set Share Name: NEC, Host: winser and use a XP username and password. Is there anything else I might have done wrong?
