I have a LAN connecting my Linux box and a Windows computer.
The Windows computer has a printer that is not supported by Linux.
Is it possible to print to it over Samba?
(That is, does going over samba make Windows supply the device driver,
or is there a way I can share a dummy postscript printer which will
redirect the output appropriately?)
Depends on your distro. I'm using SUSE, with CUPS.
In that case, search your Windows machine for the PPD file of that
printer.
Then install the printer in CUPS, using the samba server and queue name as
destination. For the driver (filter) just give it the PPD file).
Works pretty well, in most cases. (not all)
