I am trying to print from a windows ME and 2k client to my debian linux
server. I am using samba 2.2alpha3 and I can smbclient //host/printer and
acutally `print /tmp/test` and it works fine, but when it comes down to
printing from windows, nothing happens. I've tried to follow the logs, and
at one point I also had a queue in /tmp, but now I don't even see that.
I tried to remove the [printers] section, and I could not even see printers
in windows after that. I have also tried redefining print so that instead
of running lpr it would echo some data to a debugging file, but it appears
that samba/cups will only allow printing to lpr, because when I logged onto
my printer share when I did that and typed print <file> it would not echo
information back to a debug file, but would print the file via lpr or
however cups handles it internally with samba.
I've poured through my logs and cannot find useful information either.
Thanks for any help!!! Also, I will need a reply to this e-mail address as
I am not subscribed to the list yet.
