I have samba running on RH 9 as a PDC.
I want to print from teh windows box to the Linux machine...
excerpt from smb.conf:
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/cups/
browseable = yes
public = yes
printable = yes
writeable = yes
excerpt from printcap:
# This file was automatically generated by cupsd(8) from the
# /etc/cups/printers.conf file. All changes to this file
# will be lost.
printer:
lp0:
So, when I print it does put something in /var/spool/cups
but how do I get it to print?
When I print locally to the pritner it puts a file in /var/spool/cups so I
assume that's the proper directory?

Is this a raw print queue? If so then you may need to put this line in the printers share definitions. use client driver = yes I tend to have problems if i don't have that line included. "Michael S.

Hello, After installing the latest 10.0 mandrake with the 2.6 kernel, we seem to be having some difficulty printing from any windows 2000 machines. No problem loging onto the network, accessing any file...just printing from any windows 2000 machines. I got the 'heads up' with possible printing problems with win98 machines, so I took the same corrective steps. I added printers to my cups with all uppercase letters. Restarted cups and samba, all was recognized and looked great. I rebooted one of the windows2000 clients, went to add a printer......the only printers even showing as 'possible candidates' to add to the client were the ones already installed! It would not allow me install any of the old printers (that were not already on the client) or any of the new ones I had just put in. Has anyone run into this problem at all? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Amy A.
