Answer» - Linux detected the printer no problem
- using Mandriva/Mandrake 10.1
I NEED to use a SIMPLE printing share – I've got samba sharing an HP Plotter and Linux picked it up & identified it no problem. I've got several Win98 & XP computers that need to be able to print to this device. I can see the printer share in Network Neighborhood no problem but when I add the printer WINDOWS tells me that the printer is currently offline. When I try to print it tells me in red “User INTERVENTION required” and won't print at all. Is this a Windows thing or a Linux thing where should I start to FIND the problem? Windows clients can access fileshares OK.
I'm sorry I don't have the smb.conf file at the ready, it's in a business but I might be able to get a copy if it's really needed.
