          Where is this printer attached? by Kickstart2002-09-19 16:25:04

              Add something like this to your /etc/printcap by Kickstart 2002-09-19 16:55:05
# REMOTE djet500
lp:\
  :sd=/var/spool/lpd/dj:\
  :rm=machine.out.there.com:\
  :rp=printername:\
  :lp=/dev/null:\
  :sh:

Basically, the 'smb' protocol is a Windows protocol, not something dreamed up by the samba team. You don't need Samba on your local linux workstation, you just need to connect to a remotely shared printer on the Windows machine.

Once that is added there, try "lpr example.txt". It should see the printer listed in /etc/printcap and try to send a file to it.

If you are running redhat or a variant, run 'printtool' to see a nice interface to editing /etc/printcap.
