I have a Dell 1100 laser printer connected to a Windows network. There are only 2 Dell printers supported using OpenSuse 11.0 and the 1100 is not one of them. How do I get the printer drivers installed.
Thank you
maybe try like this

OK, I have the printer configured, but still can’t print a test page. What’s the secret to printing on a Windows network. Do I do anything with the CUPS Server? I tried using both the IP address and server name (that has the printer) but both don’t print a test page. I can ping the server OK. There must be a simpler way.

I followed all the steps and used localhost:631 to set up the printer. However when I try a test print I get error “Tree connect(NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED)” What did I do wrong?

Is the printer shared on Windows? I assume you are using smb rather than lpd.
Try with username=guest or a valid Windows username/password pair when you
setup the printer. It would also be a good idea to add samba users with:
su
smbpasswd -a <username>
<username> should be a valid linux username and life is easier when it is also
a valid Windows username.

Try first:
Set the URI to: smb://<server>/<PrinterShareName>
i.e. do not set any user data. Here <server> can be the either the the netbios
name of the windows server (assuming samba is properly configured) or it’s
IP. This will work when Samba is fully configured, not sure about having
only the smbclient.

I don’t know, I don’t think it’s possible to get the Win network printer to work with Linux. I’ve tried both the Cups method http:localhost:631 and the Zast hardware printer and both fail. The Zast/ Hardware/Printer seems the closest but the last screen (Printer Queue Edit Dialog) becomes non-responsive when I click Next. And so the whole thing fails. I got the printer to cycle (not printing) when Win username/password is entered but as mentioned above the Printer Queue Edit Dialog screen becomes non-responsive and so all is lost. I don’t know what to do.

Most of our printers hang off Windows Boxes, it does work. Try posting in
the Network forum. I’ve always just used CUPS and/or KDE print manager. You
may need to either make sure Samba is configured (same workgroup etc.) or use
lpd. Have you carefully read the information in Swerdna’s site previously
posted?

PV,
OK, today was a new day, there must be a way. I used Cups with LPD. I seemed to get the printer installed but couldn’t print. Cups said a test print was made but nothing came out. I went back to SAMBA and tried again. Again everything seemed OK, but no output when I used Cups to test print. I then went Printer and tried a Test Print. And what do you Know the Printer popped out a test sheet. Thank you very much for all the assistance.
