Dear all,
Hello,
The situation:At my workplace there is a shared printer installed in WINDOWS.
It’s installed also in my windows system(WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE version 7600).
It’s working very well.
From windows I shared it to have the option for printing from openSuSE 11.3.
In Samba I can see the other colleagues connected to the same workplace network.
I shared also the printer with Samba.I can see it.
The problem :The printer doesn’t work.I can’t find a opensuSE11.3 driver for it (Samsung CLX 3170 FN).
The question 1:Is it really need a properly driver for it if it installed in windows?
The question 2:How can I make printing from openSuSE11.3 with the shared installed in windows server printer?
Steps done:in MS Win system I shared ,I noted the WORKGROUP,the PC name and the IP for the printer.
//ALso I know the domain and my IP.well done in resolv.conf,in fact I have internet connection from openSuSE 11.3,no problem,e-mail/evolution and kmail are working very well,configured both for the workplace).//
Now in openSuSE what should I do?
I need some advices/right steps) about configuring this printer USING few ways(Samba,Printer config from YAST etc) because I am thinking somehow I did something wrong.
When I make print test page the printer make the noise is preparing but nothing is happening.
I believe that maybe the driver missing is the problem.
BUT ONCE AGAIN,it’s installed in my PC in Windows system,/I have dual boot system/GRUB MANAGER/openSuSE and Windows 7 Ultimate 7 7600.
Can I work with the printer via internet/network //Samba/CUPS/etc,etc with localhost /IP,or other way if I DON’T have a driver for openSuSE ,Can I access it ?Using one way ,that you know?
WHAT I MUST DO?
{My laptop is ASUS Intel processor dual 2*2.8 Gb,hard =320Gb RAM=4Gb,NVIDIA graphic card.}
I read some sites about what it must doone for this case ,but in my case it doesn’t work.
Where am I wrong?
I need a guide from you coreleted with my situation.I repeat:network windows printer shared also by me with my win system.
Now what I want is to print from openSuSE.In this case I don’t need to RESTART the PC JUST FOR PRINTING from win where the printing is working.
I request the help but the win admin at my workplace he doesn’t know how to do.I read the manual,also this doesn/t help,it’s done for this omnipresent f… windows platform.
Thank you to all.
I am sure you know how to do.Unfortunately,it’s clear I don’t know,that’s why I need you help and I write these here .
Manny thanks for your time and help.
