I can print the passwd file to the Win printer using the command: $ ./winprint /etc/passwd

However I can’t seem to define the script as a printer in the qconfig as mentioned below.

winprint:
device = dwinprint
up = TRUE
discipline = sjn
dwinprint:
backend = /usr/local/samba/lib/printers/winprint

lpstat -t shows that this printer wasn't defined and when I try to print with lp –d winprint /etc/passwd I get the error : “lp: The printer or class was not found.”

Is it just a matter of config? as I can use the script to print already.

Thanks in advance..
