Hello, i finally set up my printer. I got a linux server (deb 2.1r3)
with lprng and Epson Color Stylus 760. I 've set up a simple
/etc/printcap. I can't find any more information so i can customize it
for my printer. Could someone help me out on this one?
Also i can't print images neither from that box nor from the local
network. I search through some reference and i figured out that i got to
convert the image to postscript. What i could not find is how do i do
that... Also, after that how will i make the win98 computer
(workstation) to print images too?
Is there any specific options i should add in lpd.conf?
I am sending /etc/printcap and smb.conf to you so you can tell me what's
wrong.

; A better solution would be to have Samba rotate the log file upon
; reception of a signal, but for now on, we have to live with this.
