[opensuse] (SOLVED) Network Printing to Active Directory

A few days back I had asked how to go about printing to AD in a Wintendo
environment from my (not part of the domain) laptop.

I found the answer.

First off, I had been trying to print using SMB. This works for my
home 'network' and I can print to my wife's Win2K computer using
smb://192.168.0.101/lilly without a problem. In setting up my local Vista
workstation, I had an issue, though.

For some reason, smb printing does not work in the corporate world. However,
this is still a non-issue. I just needed to figure out what to do. This
page - http://www.swerdna.net.au/linhowtosambaprint.html - gave me the
answer. I use ipp or Internet printing protocol.

In the case of the vista workstation, I had forgotten to enable TCP/IP
printing in Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on
or off.

In there, you enable LPD print services and LPR port monitor. This then lets
me print using lpd as the protocol in CUPS: lpd://10.16.15.74/lj1320 That's
lpd://ip.address.of.machine/shared_printer_name_with_no_spaces.


As for the network printers - in the first case, I was trying to print using
smb://username\password@server/printer. That doesn't fly. According to the
page referenced above, I needed to use IPP
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Printing_Protocol) to print.

In CUPS admin, I setup the printer to simply print to the IP address and the
first queue: ipp://10.16.15.51/ipp

Bingo!
