I am using RedHat 7.3, Samba 2.2.5 and Cups 1.1.14 I have the printers setup and browseable from a windows client. I can print to them, and the jobs spool to the directory defined in the smb.conf file, but they never leave the spool directory. Any ideas where to start looking for this?

Maybe this is a shot in the night, but I have problems samba and cups where the printer where connected to a windows client. I found out that cups or samba or the interaction between them couldent resolve the chars -P %p in the printer section. Replace thes letters with the absolute path to the printer. At least give it a try. Let me hear how it goes. --- Don Hammer <hammerd@evanite.com> skrev: > I am using RedHat 7.3, Samba 2.2.5 and Cups 1.1.14> I have the printers setup and browseable from a > windows client.

"Raw" printing in CUPS is by default only allowed for *known* file types. CUPS is auto-typing incouming jobs and tagging a MIME-type to them. "Known" are all files of MIME type other than "application/octet-stream". "application/octet-stream" is another word for: an unknown file type. This is what most files generated from drivers on Windows (not the PostScript ones, but PCL, Epson and what-have-you) are being "auto-typed" upon arrival in the CUPS spooler. Because of their proprietory formats it is not possible to set up rules to recognize *and* handle them by filters. To not send unknown file types towards your printer *by default* is a pure security precaution. To allow it, requires your conscious configuration. This is what removing the comment signs in "/etc/cups/mime.*" will do. So check this out and report back! Cheers, Kurt
