Setup printer in RedHat 6.2 linux
I need to setup my RH6.2 with a LasetJet 4050 over the shared network. The server that hosts the shared printer is running on Windows 2000 Server. How should I install the shared printer?
TQ

Re: Setup printer in RedHat 6.2 linux
Your setup will depend whether the printer has a JetDirect network interface or not.
If you have JetDirect, that means you can directly reach the laserjet on the network from your Linux box. Therefore, you can use "printtool" which should (as far as I can remember) be able to interface with JetDirect network printers.
If you don't have a JetDirect interface, you need to use the W2k box as a print server. Therefore, you need the Samba common and client packages on your Linux box, and use smbprint. I guess "printtool" is able to use a Samba printer, but I'm not sure.
As an alternate method you can install the LPD/LPR print service package on W2k and configure the printer on your Linux box as "remote" LPD/LPR printer.
If you need a V-E-R-Y G-O-O-D printer/spooler utility, use "CUPS" (http://www.cups.org).
You can download some specific print drivers on http://www.linuxprinting.org.
At last, you may know that HP has released the technical information for all printers, so you can access many OpenSource drivers for HP printers :
http://hp.sourceforge.net
http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net
http://hpoj.sourceforge.net
Good luck.

Re: Setup printer in RedHat 6.2 linux
I was only able to get mine to work attached to the Linux box directly, attaching via win2k didn't work at all. (even with CUPS).
Good luck.
