With a typical RH8 install you should have all that you need to print to the remote printer. To start things off you need to make sure that the printer is shared on the WinNT workstation and that Everyone or Guest has access to the printer.
Then on the Linux workstation, from the command line, run "printtool". This is a nice little util that help setup the necessary remote queue. The printtool menus are pretty much self explanatory, though you need to note a few things. You want to chose the "Windows SMB" printer option. You'll need to know the exact make and model of your printer. And when it asks for the remote share name you must include the full UNC path (e.g. \\winwks\printer). You may also be required to enter the IP address of the NT workstation, I'm not sure if this is necessary so you may want to leave it out the first time through. Also if you don't think the queue was created correctly it is often better to delete the queue and add it back with the correct values. I had trouble just updating the existing queue on my Linux install. -Klif -----Original Message----- From: Tianran Chen [mailto:me@;chentianran.net] Sent: Monday, November 11, 2002 11:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Connect to printer on a Windows server. I'm using RedHat Linux 8.0 on my notebook. And I want to print out to the printer that connect to a Windows NT workstation, which is on the same LAN with my notebook. What do I need to do (and prepare) in order to do that?
