oki b2200 shared over samba
Spent a while looking for info on this online, but couldn’t find it.
We have a windows machine which has a few printers on it. I want to connect to it from Linux (Fedora 8).
First, share the printer via windows share. Give it a name like OKIB2200.
Now, open system-config-printer
Choose “New Printer”, then “Windows Printer via SAMBA”. If that option does not appear, then close out of system-config-printer
and install samba (yum install samba*
) then repeat the above.
Enter the appropriate smb address. In my case, it was smb://mshome/192.168.1.252/OKIB2200
.
Click “Verify” to make sure it’s accessible (if not, check spelling in the URL. if still not, I dunno…).
For the Make, choose Generic
For the Model, choose PCL 4 (laserjet).
test, and you’re done.
