To share files between Linux and Windows machine --> SAMBA, NFS
To initiate printer linux uses lpr command
lpr takes the thing you want to print and gives it to lpd
lpd - line printer domain
lpd decides which print queue should print going
USER-->lpr -->lpd --> print queue -->printer
lpd doesn't know where lpr come from. from local or remote machine.
When you prints something --> thing that you want to print transform into postscript
postscript - is standard printer language. Printer is postscript cabable (ready)
(DRIVER; Ghostscript) is used to translate between two languages.(postscript translates into driver)
Print Queues /var/spool/lpd
Config Files /etc/printcap
A Hernative Printing Systems
BSD - Berkley Standard Distribution
LPRng
CUPS - Common Unix Printing System /etc/cups
Lets configure printer for the computer
$printtool --- graphical user interface
/etc/printcap - is generated when lpd is initiated
$lpr -P hp1 demo2.sh
$lpq
Files sharing
- Easy file exchange
- Conserve disk space
- Reduce work for sys admins
2 typical scenarios
1.Windows SMB (server message block)/CIFS ---- SAMBA to share between Linux and Windows
2.Linux/UNIX ---- NFS to share between Linux
$smbclient //winmachine/perryStuff -U trainer
>get windowsfile.txt
$smbmount //nugget2/perryStuff hold/
cd hold
ls
Now you see windows share in Linux
$smbumount /hold --- unmount hold direcotry
