hi all and thanks in advance for reading this
i have worked with samba for a while, sharing drives on
my linux boxes and all went well until now.
now, i tried to share a printer.
1 i setup a printer in a box with cups. the printer is
working fine in that host printing everything as it is
told.
2 i tried to share the printer to:
2.1 one windows wrokstation in the lan
2.2 two linux boxes on the lan
with the following config file:
[global]
workgroup = PRINTSERVER
netbios name = NEPTUN
server string = neptun print server
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
security = share
encrypt passwords = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192
SO_SNDBUF=8192
printcap name = lpstat
printing = cups
[printers]
comment = All Printers
printer = hp_670C
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
guest ok = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
create mode = 0700
print command = lpr -P %p -o raw %s -r
lpq command = lpstat -o %p
lprm command = cancel %p-%j
use client driver = yes
i then made the client configuration on the windows
workstation, and windows is printing well to my linux
printing server with samba. it shares drives and the
printer without any kind of problem.
the problem is that i cannot print form my linux boxes
to that shared printer...
on linux boxes i made the following
1 configured one printer queue with cups linking the
smbspool to /usr/lib/cups/backend/
ln -s /usr/bin/smbspool /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb
2 loaded the driver for hp 670c in cups
3 tried to print a test page and i did it successfully
now... the only thing is that i am only able to print
test pages... and i can't figure out the command line
options to print from my linux print clients to my
linux print server...
windows is doing fine though.
other thing is that when I:
smbclient //neptun/printers
i can mount the share but it does not print.
unix is user friendly. it's just selective when choosing
friends.

That's more of a cups question. Then lpr will behave as you expect and send the jobs to this printer. but I can't figure out why you're using the smb backend instead of the native cups protocol (which wouldn't require setting up a driver on the client) between the 2 nix boxes... -- *********************************************** david.morel@amakuru.net OpenPGP public key: http://www.amakuru.net/dmorel.asc 28192ef126bc871757cb7d97f4a44536 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
