I have a Fedora 17 Linux box and a HP Laser Jet Professional P1102
attached via USB cable. I can send print job to this printer from the Linux box
and it works fine. I use CUPS system for printing. I have another computer
laptop that has Windows 7 as the operating system and I like to share
files and printer that is attached to this Linux box. Therefore, I
decided to install Samba version 3.6.12-1 and set the file and printer
sharing as it is recommended by the following site:
https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/CUPS-printing.html
When I go to my PC I can see the hp laser jet printer Icon in the Network
window. I set this hp laser jet as my default printer. I tried to print a file
from Microsoft Words but nothing comes out of the server printer.
In the following I have the section of the Samba and smb.conf
?====== Global Settings ======
?workgroup = workgroup
?server string = Samba Server Version %v
?hosts allow = 127. 192.168.1.
printcap name = cups
printing = cups
===== Standalone Server Options===security = share
==== Printing Options==cups options = raw
