Hello:
I have a machine running Fedora Core 2 with an HP Color
LaserJet 2550L printer connected via a USB cable.
Local printing from the fedora machine is just fine.
It uses CUPS.
I am trying to set this printer up using Samba, but I
keep getting postscript code when I try to print from
Windows.
Here is my smb.conf file:
[global]
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
load printers = yes
idmap gid = 16777216-33554431
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
encrypt passwords = yes
winbind use default domain = no
template shell = /bin/false
dns proxy = no
netbios name = dsl
printing = cups
server string = Samba Server
idmap uid = 16777216-33554431
os level = 20
printcap name = /etc/printcap
security = user
max log size = 50
[HP]
postscript = yes
printer = HP
printable = yes
path = /var/spool/samba
comment = HP Color LaserJet 2550L
valid users = @samba
I created an account for myself in the samba group on the
server.
I went to my windows machine (running XP Pro).
I added a network printer with the address \\192.168.1.1\HP
and it seemed to go fine. When it asked for the driver, I
pointed it to the HP 2550 postscript drivers I downloaded from
HP's site.
Any ideas why this is not working?
Thanks,
Neil
