[Techtalk] help configuring our printer

[Bowen, Tricia]

Don't you just love Monday's! Here is a copy of my /etc/printcap file for my
redhat7.0 machine. See if it helps. The printer was configured using
printtool.

tbowen:~$ cat /etc/printcap
# /etc/printcap
#
# Please don't edit this file directly unless you know what you are doing!
# Be warned that the control-panel printtool requires a very strict format!
# Look at the printcap(5) man page for more info.
#
# This file can be edited with the printtool in the control-panel.

Hi and happy monday to all,

It still does not work & I am getting frustrated. In
printtool under share I have tried entering both:
/usr/bin/smbclient \\computerName\PrinterName
and \\computerName\printerName. 

I have the correct IP address & workgroup name. My
user name & password are correct as well & I do have
permission (rights) to the computer. I reboot after
every modification via printtool. Any other
suggestions.

TIA,

DaLy
