Re: QTR 2 and Samba?

2003-11-18 by David Wroblewski

Two quick comments for you, Keith. I'm a recent convert to
QTR, running a dedicated Redhat 9 installation on a separate
box only for that purpose. Epson 2200 connected to the Linux box.

(1) I haven't tried doing what you're asking about here; 
I learned just enough to get RH9 up and cooking without trying
anything fancy. So I copy a tif image into a shared folder 
between my pc/linux boxes and print from the linux command line. 
If what you suggest is possible, it would be a very nice 
compromise, and I'd switch to such a setup so I could use the
standard Windows dialogs to check ink levels.

(2) I had no problems using the CUPS/GIMP packages as installed 
by Redhat. Another poster suggested that one should download
them separately, but I haven't seen any need for that.
