Re: Configure slitaz cups over samba to windows printer

You have to create link to smbspool as root:

ln -s `which smbspool' /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb

After smbspool replace ' with `

This is what it looks like when done:

root@slitaz:/home/tux# ls -la /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            17 Jul 16  2011 /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb -> /usr/bin/smbspool

I type  ls -la /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb

           No such file or directory

There is no directory smb .

/etc/init.d/samba start works.

Re: Configure slitaz cups over samba to windows printer

Install smbclient it owns /usr/bin/smbspool

tazpkg -gi smbclient

ln -s /usr/bin/smbspool /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb

This is what it looks like when done:

root@slitaz:/home/tux# ls -la /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Jul 16 2011 /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb -> /usr/bin/smbspool

smb is a symlink pointing to file smbspool
