Hi, Back again. Puppy linux is roaring on celeron box, but having problem in printer and window share mounting. 1. I can access printer LBP1210 on XP machine. If I send a print file by smbclient it prints correctly . The print file is created on XP machine, but when I print through CUPS, it does not print but CUPS says job is completed. Cups is configured for LBP1270. Any idea...
2. I can mount a window share by smbclient, but mount -t smbfs <other parameters> fails. Any idea...
Warm Regards,

check the cups log files. Likely the LBP1210 ppd file is missing on your celeron box

What does the smb log file say.

A windows shared printer can be accessed in Linux only via samba. CUPS setup (localhost:631 in browser) has an option for samba printer. You will have to check if your printer is directly compatible with the Linux drivers or you need to feed it a seperate ppd file. Some printers require a firmware.
In the link http://puppylinux.org/wiki/how-tos/general/genericsharedpostscriptprinteronw... provided earlier by Arun I went through it again and found that they use a different method by which you need no drivers for Linux. The .ps file is simply pushed RAW to the windows machine which then passes it on to its printer thus eliminating installation of Linux drivers.

When you used smbclient to access your windows share, were you asked for a username / password? If yes then those entries are required in your mount command.

Ok, Now dot matrix on XP is working from linux box, but Canon LBP1210 refuses to budge. As far as window share mount, I was using -t smbfs, but -t cifs worked. For canon , will check again, or else go postscript way. But this needs installation of lots of software on XP, and I wanted to avoid it.
