I am having some trouble figuring out how to get my Samsung ML-1710
printer to be shared with winXP.
I am using lpr. I can print fine from linux, and can see the printer
from XP. I can print gibberish from windows when using the same printer
as defined in printcap that I use in linux. I figure that all I need to
do is set up a raw printer and have XP use that.
I cannot get my raw printer to print anything, either from windows or
linux. I do not get any errors. The only time I see anything in the
queue is when I turn the printer off and then print. When I turn it
back on, the queue goes away and nothing comes out.
Here is my printcap. The "network" entry is supposed to be raw, the lp
entry works fine ( except for the gibberish from XP )
lp:\
:sh:\
:mx#0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:if=/usr/local/linuxprinter/filters/spl2print:\
:af=-Plp:\
:lp=/dev/usblp0:
network:\
:lp=/dev/usblp0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/network:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/network/log:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:
