Nobody tells you how to handle samba cups behind a iptables firewall using turboprint drivers.What ports that must be opened, file permissions etc. My samba server is up and running. I can see all my client maschines and they can see me in the windows neighborhood.I can also print from my lindoze to my Epson Stylus C20UX . The drivers is not supported in the cups version 1.1.x I have therefore I installed tuboprint drivers and they work fine from the lindoze. But I cant install the network driver on the windoze. What have I done: The samba shares [printer] etc. Peace of cake. I have also opened ports 137..139 on the Lan card. Not at the loopback interface.I have also opened the cups port 631 on lan card and loopback. I use this spool dir. /var/spool/cups and have set the permissions to 0777. I have set the permissions on sambaomagic foomagic_... and the dir of turboprint that contain the Epson_Stylusc20ux.ppd I have created a symlink to the cups backend dir. And after all that I still cant install the printer as a network printer. In windoze I get ok on this command. net use LPT6: \\< my lindoze>\<my samba share for the printer> In windows using: net view shows all the shares including printer share. In smb.conf I use printcap name = lpstat. lpstat -v shows tp0:/dev/usb/lp0 which is the path to the printer. And still I cant install the priter. Whats going on and what have I missed? ====Investigating the Norwegain 4.th Secret Service The multiheaded beast. http://hjem.sol.no/altiett/knut_ove_hauge_kuren.htm ______________________________________________________ Se den nye Yahoo!
