<p>Of course, I know it needed samba, but I had difficulty sharing one to Windows PC which I didn't really get into much since the day I moved away from Windows. This was what I did to get it work.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><code>$ /etc/samba/smb.conf</code></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Find these lines and uncomment them; if you can't find, type.<br />
|
||
|
|
<code>printcap name = cups<br />
|
||
|
|
printing = cups</code></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>[printers] section should look similar to this</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><code>[printers]<br />
|
||
|
|
comment = All Printers<br />
|
||
|
|
browseable = yes<br />
|
||
|
|
path = /var/spool/samba<br />
|
||
|
|
printable = yes<br />
|
||
|
|
public = yes<br />
|
||
|
|
guest ok = yes<br />
|
||
|
|
create mask = 0700<br />
|
||
|
|
use client driver = yes<br />
|
||
|
|
path = /tmp<br />
|
||
|
|
</code></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Then you have to restart samba.<br />
|
||
|
|
<code>$ sudo service smbd restart</code><br />
|
||
|
|
For some, you might have to use <code>samba</code> instead of <code>smbd</code>. That's varied by distros. However, after adding printer to your Windows box, you should be able to print. I find it's easier to navigate to <code>\\linux-box-name</code> in file explorer. Find printer there, then right-click to connect and add there. Add printer via Devices and Printer and auto discovery thing isn't impressed me 99% of the time.</p>
