Greetings All!
My first Linux (Potato) box is really coming up nicely. Star Office is
working well.
I have Samba giving me access to drives on Win98 boxes, just need to make
em r/w :)
My Win98 boxes can print to the printer on my Potato box.
BUT, my Potato box can't seem to print to my Win98 box (hp ljet). It gets
spooled ok.
But checking the queue with lpc it seems to be waiting for the Win98 box.
Status message reads: "Waiting for Sony to come up"
"Sony" is the name of my Win98 box. I have tried different guest account
names in my
smb.conf file (ftp, jeff, guest, nobody) and it makes no difference.
The ethernet leds flicker when I send a job to the print queue, but the
job still
sits in the queue waiting for the box to "come up".
If someone has any experience with doing this, I'd really appreciate
seeing if
there is something wrong in my printcap or smb.conf files. (included)
I've installed the following packages in order to get this far ;)
samba
samba-common
smbclient
smbfs
magicfilter
Thanks - Jeff
