RE: Setting up Printers

Since you're specifying a WINS server, you should make sure that your Win2K
clients are using the _same_ WINS server.  The other thing to do is make
sure that nmbd is running: ps ax | grep mbd

Subject: [Redhat-s390-list] Setting up Printers


I am trying to set up an HP 4050N printer on a Red Hat Linux v7.2 virtual
machine running Samba v2.21 . The server IP is 172.17.60.6, and the printer
IP is 172.16.0.116 . Since they appear to be on different subnets, I was
inclined to suspect that I simply needed to specify 172.16.0.255 in the
remote announce field. 

Here are some other pertinent settings:

[global]
workgroup                cofrny
netbios name          cofr3
interfaces                 172.16.60.6/255.255.255.0
security                     DOMAIN
printing                      sysv
map to guest           Bad User
preferred master   TRUE
local master            YES
domain master    TRUE
dns proxy                 Yes
wins server              172.16.0.121

[bhrshp1]
path                            /var/spool/lpd/bhrshp1
valid users              root,illingsk,@Treasury
printable                  Yes

After restarting the Samba daemons, I still could not locate the printer via
the add new printer wizard on a Win2kPro workstation. I am struggling to
ascertain what else should be done. Can you help?

Thank you in advance for your time.
