Please check the owner, group and the permissions on /var/spool/samba -
directory.

I think this will make the problem go away (but its very insecure, thus
only for testing): chmod 777 /var/spool/samba

Log in as 'root'.

cd /var/spool

chmod a+rwxt samba


Printing should now work.

Hi all,

 

I still have this persistent problem with my Printing.

Printer state:

Processing ........(accepting jobs)

and Error message from Log:

unable to connect to CUPS server localhost - Connection refused

Even though I have modified the smb.conf to include:

Interfaces = 127.0.0.1 194.180.75.90/255.255.255.0

bind interfaces only = yes

security = Share

Disable spoolss = yes

[hplaserjet8100]

Printcap name = cups

printing = Cups

use client driver = yes

Postscript = Yes

Ill appreciate any recommendations

Thanks

Iyke
