Hi!
I am a newbie with Linux. I have just installed Red Hat 7.2 on my Win98
machine with dual boot.
I am trying to configure Red Hat to print through the NT Print Server. I
have samba already installed. I have read the samba configuration,
documentation by red hat, and those HOWTO mini helps, etc... but none
seems to help. So any help from you guys would be greatly appreciated!
My NT print server's IP is 138.4.1.221 and my printer is HP 4050 and
it's IP is 138.4.7.144. These are the steps that I took to configure Red
Hat to print.
1. Go to Printer Configuration. (KDE - GUI)
2. Enter the Queue Name and click on the Windows Printer (SMB) button.
3. At 'Configure a Window Print Queue'..
share - \\stprint\itprint2
Host IP - 138.4.1.221 (should this be the printer server or the
printer IP address???)
Workgroup - stlc
User - seowleng.kwek
Password - xxxx
4. At 'Select a Print Driver', I select 'Raw Print Queue'. Also I tried
HP Laserjet 4050 - postscript.
5. I click the APPLY and it prompts 'lpd restart succeeded'.
6. Test print out and it prompts 'print send to HP (i.e the queue name).
7. At terminal, I key in 'lpstat' and find that the test print fails
after 3 tries.
What have I done wrong here? Should I install samba on the print server
too? Is there something that I have missed? . Any kind of help is
greatly appreciated!
Best regards,
Simon Kwek.
