Ubuntu8.04 local printer settings
It is very simple. If the printer has been connected to the computer and then installed ubuntu8.04, the driver will be automatically installed during the installation process. All you need to do is to column the printer as the default printer in the print settings.
Ubuntu8.04samba printing server settings
The key is Samba settings. You can view the comments of/etc/samba/smb. conf, which support sharing of cups printers and uncomment related statements. (Printing name = cups, print Cap = cups ).
The Simple Method for printing and sharing without user login is sercuity = share.
Create a password-free user in the system
Sudo adduser -- System -- disabled-Password smbprint
In the smb. conf file
Guest account = smbprint (the default configuration is guest account = Nobody)
Path =/home/smbprint (note the folder access permission, or do not change the default/tmp, I use 777 anyway)
Yes. Run the./etc/init. d/samba restart command and run the printer test on Windows.
In System/System Management/printing, configure the following settings:
Note: The previous use of guest = Nobody prompts that the folder cannot be accessed. // servername/printname
Ubuntu7.10 connects to a Windows shared printer in the LAN
Select system/Administration/printing. The window is displayed.
Select new printer and enter the IP address of the Windows operating system of the shared printer. Note that the printer name must not be incorrect. You can also select Browse to search for the printer on the network.
Follow the prompts and select the appropriate driver. Everything is OK, but the print effect is not good. Use it together.
