Hey guys, I'm trying to get Samba running to share some stuff out over my
network. My main box is running gentoo, but I've got two more machines that
run windows (for work, ugh, I hate it, don't think I'm a microsoft
lover)
Anyhoo. I got it setup and got cups installed and setup my smb.conf
(included below). I can connect to the shares and copy/rename/move/etc,
works PERFECTLY. I even got PDF Printer setup in cups and shared out.
However, my actual printer, an HP Deskjet 5550 has a little glitch. I got
it to share out and I uploaded new drivers for it. I can install it in any
of my machines, but when I try to print, whatever program I'm using just
crashes. If I try to view the properties of it, I get a protection fault.
It seems to be a problem others have had, but I can't find any solutions to
it. I played around with renaming the printer under the print$ share (so it
matched the CUPS queue name) and now it seems to work on my laptop, but it's
still giving me the protection fault on the other machine. I have a feeling
if I delete it and reinstall it, it'll start misbehaving again on my laptop.
Can ANYONE help me with this? I'm pulling my hair out, my smb.conf is
below, edited to remove usernames =)
