This note describes how to add a Samba printer to /etc/printcap using apsfilter.

S.u.S.E 6.3
gs 5.10
apsfilter S.u.S.E.-1.6

  1. Start the apsfilter setup program:

    #/var/lib/apsfilter/SETUP

  2. Follow the menus to add a local printer to /etc/printcap. Attach it to /dev/null. Use the cdj550 driver for the Hewlett-Packard HP895Cxi printer.
  3. Uncomment REMOTE_PRINTER in /etc/apsfilterrc.<drivername> and add the following:

REMOTE_PRINTER="/usr/bin/samba-print //HOST/PRINTER -U username -N -P"

e.g.,
REMOTE_PRINTER="/usr/bin/samba-print //PIERRE/HP895 -U username -N -P"

4. /etc/printcap
