    Subject: [suse-sparc] samba printing question
    

    in the past (7.0 and 7.1) i've been able to install samba during the
    initial installation
    and then go back later using yast1 network config to print to a remote
    printer
    via samba.......with 7.3 however it doesn't work, so int he process of
    investigating
    why, i was reading the Using Samba book which is included in the docs (
    ibelieve it
    is based on an older samba release), anyway in the instuctions on
    how to configure samba to print on a remote printer which is connected to a
    windows box, it talks about creating a special if line in the /etc/printcap
    file:

    "Note that the input filter (if) entry needs to point to the smbprint
    program if the machine is on Windows 95/98."
    .......

    ":if=/usr/local/samba/bin/smbprint: "

    i don't see such a line and i can't find a smbaprint program, is 7.3 doing
    it differently?
    or is there now much more to configure?

    TIA,
    don
