I'm using Linux 2.0.35. I would like to print to a network printer. This
printer is attached to a Lanman 3.0 Printer Server. If I use smbclient
//s21709/prntr23 -P, I get a message that the connection failed. The
printer server s21709 has no IP address.
How do I reach it ???
Thanks in advance for any tip or trick
BTW I finally found smbfs with smbmount, now I can access our drives,
except those Lanman 3.0 servers

what does that mean? if only NETBEUI and no TCP/IP (e.g. NBT ->
NetBIOS over TCP/IP) is installed, you won't be able to connect to
that machine from linux. there's simply no support for NETBEUI under
linux. Install TCP/IP on your printer server or use a seperate printer
box with lpd.

Oh, I just discovered that it's an OS/2 machine with Netbios, without
TCP/IP ...
