I'm having an odd problem. The system sees my printer, and from the local
box I can print fine. I set it up in Samba and it shows up there as well.
I can mount it from my WinXP laptop and it doesn't kick back any errors
when I try to print.
The problem is that the print job never actually gets printed. Nothing in
the queue, no errors, just no printing. It's got to be something I have
set wrong in the smb.conf file, but I'll be damned if I can figure out
what it is. Any help would be appreciated, anyone see what I'm doing
wrong:
# smb.conf
[global]
server string = File Server
security = SHARE
encrypt passwords = Yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
local master = No
dns proxy = No
hosts allow = 192.168.1.
load printers = yes
printing = cups
[shared]
path = /samba
writeable = yes
guest ok = Yes
[printer]

Hi,
I don't use CUPS but I'm sure you will still require a "print
command = " in
your global section?

Nope, that didn't fix it. Checked with the docs too, since it's compiled against libcups it would have just ignored that line anyway. -Mike ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Every great man was thought insane before he changed the world.

Look at /var/spool/samba and see if the job gets transferred there. Use print command = echo "tried to print %s" > /tmp/signal and see what is in signal. Look in the samba logs. Can you print %s from the local host (server)? Usually, this disappearing act is due to a bad driver, IMHO. BTW, I do not know anything about cups. It seems like most people with problems these days with samba printing are using cups. Joel On Wed, May 14, 2003 at 07:46:16PM -0700, Michael W. Smith wrote:> I'm having an odd problem.
