Hi, I want to use my D-L PC as a Samba print server for my windows PCs so I'd like to follow your example. --- Michael <dre...@cf...> wrote: > Hello > thank-you Heiko Zuerker > > Printing is possible > This command... > cat "file.name" > /dev/lp# > sent a "print-to-file" file transfered from my MS > windows box Hmm, I tried this and got a "no such device or address" error message. > > I then borrowed these files from a Red Hat 7.2 > distro... > /usr/sbin/lpr (the lpr > deamon) > /usr/sbin/checkpc (file that checks > for errors the lpr deamon might report > /usr/bin/lp > > /usr/bin/lpr >>> > /usr/bin/lpq >>>>> (variouse > commands to send, pause, cancel print jobs > /usr/bin/lprm >>> > /usr/bin/lpstat > > /kerberos/lib/*.* (these are lib > files that the deamon and commands need) > /etc/lpd.conf > > /etc/printcap >>> (config > files for the lpr deamon) > /etc/lpd.perms > > > All of these files were placed on a hard drive and > soft linked in the /etc/init.d/boot file > i also modified the the red hat /etc/init.d/lpd > deamon start stop file to work with the Devil Linux > /etc/init.d/functions file > > Printing works great threw samba now > if anybody would like help with this send a post i > read them every week or so I'd like to try and create a print package from source, rather than scarfing up binaries from another distribution. I notice that the LFS file system used for building the CD has neither lpr or lpd in it and I can find no reference to building/installing printer support in the LFS documentation. I can build CUPS on my Gentoo PC. Do you think that this would be a good place to start? Thanks, Wally __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
