Windows shared printers: Process job on server machine, not the client
- by asr
Hi.
While working with Linux clients to Windows SMB/CIFS filesharing servers, from time to time I find myself having to print to a printer with no drivers available under Linux.
For some reason, the Windows computer expects the job to be sent in an already processed format, so it can be fed directly to the printer in its own, weird language.
It would be great if I could send the print job in Postscript or other standard format to the Windows computer sharing this printer, and then this PS could be processed under Windows.
Is there a way to accomplish this? Because I don't seem to find the option.
Thanks a lot.
