Is there a utiility to set up printing from a DSL box via the network to a printer on a WinME box? The DSL box can see file system shares on the WinME box, including the printer share.

I have pretty much the same problem, but with XP and i am wondering what i would do with the drivers, does dsl have print drivers?, does it being USB change anything?

Shouldn't matter about the interface - that is handled on Bill's end. We need something like CUPS for DSL. I have successfully used CUPS on other distros for this situation. There are lots of Linux print drivers available - maybe not for every exact model, but usually close enough. I haven't really delved into this yet - was hoping to cheat by finding someone else who had it figured out.

apt-get install cups?? Posted by reid_geo on Sep. 13 2004,03:55
Here is an excellent discussion and instructions for cups and samba: < http://mumford1.dyndns.org/~bs7452/linuxhelp/cups.html > Didn't quite work for me (got 1/4 size pages), but this probably 'cause I couldn;t find my exact driver. |
