1. Firstly we need to make sure we have cups installed
rpm -qa | grep cups
2. If now we can install it
yum install cups
3. Uncomment the following line in the mime.convs file
nano /etc/cups/mime.convs mime.convs:
|
application/octet-stream application/vnd.cups-raw 0 -
|
4. Uncomment the following line in the mime.types file nano /etc/cups/mime.convs
mime.convs:
5. Next change the cupsd.conf file
nano /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
mime.convs:
<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 192.168.1.*
</Location>
<Location /admin>
AuthType Basic
AuthClass System
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 192.168.1.*
</Location>
|
6. Now that cups is setup it's time to setup samba
nano /etc/samba/smb.conf smb.conf:
[Global]
netbios name = COMPUTER_NAME
workgroup = YOUR_WORKGROUP
server string = Samba Server
hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/24 127.0.0.0/8
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
interfaces = lo eth0
bind interfaces only = yes
null passwords = no
hide unreadable = yes
hide dot files = yes
printcap name = cups
printing = cups
cups options = "raw"
use client driver = no
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
|
7. Once all that information is added we need to start the services and set the to start on boot
/etc/init.d/cups start
/etc/init.d/smb start
chkconfig smb on
chkconfig cups on
8. Now all you have to do in your windows machine go to start, run and type \\printserver\ then choose the Printers and Faxes icon and you should be able to see all your printers, just right mouse button click on them and choose 'connect'.
