I have a HP Laserjet 1200 -printer, and am using LPD and apsfilter with postscript driver as suggested by linuxprinting.org. Everything works real well under BSD, but I am unable to get any output to printer from the Windows box. I have gathered different bits and pieces from around the net and manuals, and have come up with the following: /etc/printcap: lp|PS;r=1200x1200;q=medium;c=full;p=a4;m=auto:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct:\ :mx#0:\ :sh: raw|hp|HP LaserJet 1200:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :sd=/var/spool/raw:\ :lf=/var/spool/raw/log:\ :af=/var/spool/raw/acct:\ :mx#0:\ :sf:\ :sh: $ ls -ld /var/spool/lpd/lp drwxr-xr-x 2 root daemon 512 Jan 23 19:59 /var/spool/lpd/lp $ ls -ld /var/spool/raw/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 23 19:57 /var/spool/raw/ /usr/local/etc/smb.conf: [global] hosts allow 10.0.0. security = user encrypt passwords = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY client code page=850 wins support = yes printing = bsd printcap name = /etc/printcap [lp] comment = Laserjet 1200 path = /var/spool/samba printer name = raw public = yes writeable = no printable = yes $ ls -ld /var/spool/samba/ drwxrwxrwt 2 root wheel 512 Jan 23 20:03 /var/spool/samba/ In the Windows box, I've added a local printer with the "Add new printer wizard" pointing it to lpt1-port. After that, I have opened a command prompt, and typed "net use lpt1: \\10.0.0.1\lp". I have filesharing also in samba, and that works without problems. My windows username and password are same as samba username and password. However, as said, nothing gets printed. No files are in the spooldirectories. I do not know how to proceed, and would love some guidance. Thanks, Mikko ps. would hate to have to put it into windows box, as printer supports PS.
