Printing to Win Box on network

[rusty]

Got this to work so I thought I'd post. I wanted to be able to print from a PC running Knoppix on a SOHO network to a PC running WinMe wth a Canon BJC4400 on LPT1. Tried messing with rlpr with out luck. Turns out to be easy if all the daemons are invoked.

1. Make sure the Win PC is on and printer can be shared.

2. Boot Knoppix from CD. Open root prompt and start cupsd, smbd and lisa.

3. Start LinNeighborhood to verify Knoppix can see WinPC and printer.

4. Start printing manager KNOPPIX>Configure>Configure Printer(s). Click Add then Add Printer/Class. Check SMB shared Printer.

Set up password if needed

On the next screen, click Scan and the PC then Printer.

The rest is basically just printer setup.

Hope this helps.
