I've scoured the newsgroups and asked MANY people, does anyone out there have any ideas ? I'm new to the CUPS arena and I'm trying to figure out what to do from the separate docs. I'm using SLES7 (2.4.7 kernel). The files I'm using are: 4368072 May 22 06:22 cups-1.1.19rc5-source.tar.gz 197341 May 22 06:22 cups-samba-1.1.19rc2.tar.gz 4961128 May 22 07:58 ghostscript-7.05.tar.gz 14520320 May 22 06:22 gimp-print-4.3.14.tar 610697 May 23 06:20 pkgconfig-0.15.0.tar.gz 5463358 May 22 06:24 samba-2.2.8a.tar.gz So far I have compiled cups, ghostscript (with the cups patch), cups- samba drivers, & samba with cups enabled. I have setup my smb.conf file to use cups and I can see the printer I setup through Network Neigh. I used the windows interface to install the printer driver and I can install the driver onto my client through the APW interface. When I try to print I get "test page failed to print" I'm guessing it's because I don't have the gimp-print package installed yet, and that's where I'm stuck. When I ran "./configure --with-cups --without-gimp --disable-gimp-test" for the gimp-print package I got errors about not finding glib-config and pkg-config. I found the pkgconfig package at the url listed in the error. I did the usual configure,make,make install, but then it gave errors about not finding .h files. I went through one at a time moving them to the /usr/local/include directory because apparently the make install doesn't do that. Now I still get errors surrounding glib-config and pkg-config. Am I going down the right path here ? I've TIA Josh

The cups-samba drivers don't need to be compiled. They arrive as pre-compiled binaries.> & samba with cups enabled. > > I have setup my smb.conf file to use cups and I can see the printer I > setup through Network Neigh. I used the windows interface to install the > printer driverWhat do you mean "used the windows interface to install the printer driver" ? * The CUPS-Samba drivers are installed with "cupsaddsmb" (*not* the Windows "Add Printer Wizard") into the [print$] share on the Samba side. * To install them on a [WinNT/2K/XP] client, use the usual "Point'n'Print" method familiar to many WinNT admins.> and I can install the driver onto my client through the > APW interface. When I try to print I get "test page failed to print"Probably you need to "set the correct Device Mode" first.... Please check out this documentation and see if it helps you: http://www.linuxprinting.org/kpfeifle/SambaPrintHOWTO/ The sections about the Device Mode are f.e. here: http://www.linuxprinting.org/kpfeifle/SambaPrintHOWTO/Samba-HOWTO-Collection-3.0-PrintingChapter-9th-draft.html#11_2_10 I am currently working on some minor clarifications about the CUPS-Samba driver files. A new version of that document's draft should be uploaded by Sunday evening (European time). [....]> > Josh >Cheers, Kurt
