Re: [SLUG] SMB network printer

[Howard Lowndes <lannet@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've used Lexmark Optra in several scenario and they are cinch to set up 
for TCP/IP printing with Linux, but setting up any TCP/IP printer under 
that other toy needs a few tricks - start by defining it as a Local 
Printer and not a Network Printer, then go and follow the TCP/IP path. 
This should work for W2K and WXP but probably won't work for W9x.
