I was wondering if anyone could help me. I am on a college network run off Windows 2000 Server which has samba printer queues and you have to login to it. I was wondering since the printer does not have lpr and there doesn't appear to be any product supporting cross platform printing at present, whether I could create a default queue on my computer and then send it to the spool on the samba printer via the command line interface. This has been reccommended by my network administrator, but I have no Unix experience and don't really have a clue how to do this. Any help would be appreciated or maybe a gentle shove in the right direction would be helpful.
Connecting to a Samba Print Server?

wow. sounds pretty cool. I don't know how to do this, but I have a starting point for ya:
type smbutil in the terminal and press enter
there is some sort of print command you'll see:
[mach4:~] liggett% smbutil
usage: smbutil [-hv] command [args]
where commands are:
crypt [password] slightly encrypt password
help command display help on "command"
lc display active connections
login //user@host[/share] login to the specified host
logout //user@host[/share] logout from the specified host
print //user@host/share file print file to the specified remote printer
view //user@host list resources on the specified host
[mach4:~] liggett%
type man smbutil
Also, linux can do this, so it might be possable to mess with samba enough... looks like you were allready headed in that direction.
I'd start by reading the documentation to samba, and then read how to install it on the mac...
sorry I don't have a concreate solution for ya
please post anything you think up, because this could make a great post for the archive.
