On the FreeBSD system, treat it as a remote BSD system (it is compliant). IP printing to the NT box, printername=WhateverYouNamedTheShareOnNT When printing to the printer a file that is a PS or a PCL file, make sure you tell the lp program that. On HP-UX, I have to do lp -oBSDo filename.ps to tell it to spool it as a PostScript file to the NT server. If you don't, you'll see the raw PS code coming out of the printer (which is great if you want to see what PostScript looks like, but not so great if you want to see the actual picture it describes :) ) Pavel May General Purpose Computer Geek California State University, Northridge College of Engineering and Computer Science 18111 Nordhoff St, Post Stop 8295 Northridge, CA 91330 ulairi@jps.net pavel@ecs.csun.edu | -----Original Message----- | From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG | [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Darin Spence | Sent: Tuesday, March 23, 1999 17:09 | To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG | Subject: Printing to an NT Server | | | I just installed FreeBSD and am trying to figure out how to set it up so | that I can print from the BSD box to my Laser Printer through my | Windows NT | 4 print server. | | I've read though some of the handbook on printing...do I need to have the | LPD protocol installed on the NT print server for this to work? | Can someone | point me in the general direction of where I could find a step-by-step to | get this to work? | | Thank you! | | ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Darin Spence | darin@radio-inc.com | Director of Information Technology > R A D I O, INC | (785) 628-1064, ext. 22 > Phone | http://www.media-net.net | | | | To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org | with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message | To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
