Hi,
I would like to write a program to print files thru Windwos shared printer (Samba). In theory I should only need to put the file (e.g.: README.txt) to printer netshare folder (e.g.: \\mypc\printer\), and then the printer should print it out. But actually nothing happens when I do that. Could you guide me how to do that? And can I do the print thru smbclient?
Thanks!
