I have searched around the samba documentation, including the smb.conf man page, and have found nothing regarding the cups printing system except change printcap to cups. Now, I have done that, but printing still does not work. I need some types of details and a sample smb.conf and/or any other relevant documentation. Thanks much, George D. Plymale

OK, I've tried changing my printcap name from printcap to cups. Printing works fine locally using CUPS on the Samba box. What am I missing here? Why can't I print to the Samba box via the Windows and linux clients? Shared directories work fine. I am really frustrated here and have exhausted Google and all other resources I have. Here's my smb.conf for what it's worth.

Hello, I have RH 7.2 and was trying to make HP Officejet 7110 work with it. I have upgraded ghostscipt to 7.0.6 installed hpijs1.3.1 and foomatic-2.0. So in printconf-gui I was able to chose HP OfficeJet 7110 from the printers list and install hpijs driver. After sending page to print, printer is displaying message (printing) after printing page and diode On is blinking. Setting in printconf-gui

Since my old Epson C86 has finally managed to clog up the print heads, I'm in the market for a replacement. I'd like to know what the people on this list are using for printers that are currently available, since we are using versions of CUPS and foomatic that are frozen, and any other issues or "gotchas" that you are aware of. For the replacement printer, I'm considering a

Has anyone gotten this printer to work with Redhat/Samba? My system is RH 7.2 , Kernel 2.4.20, samba 1.2.7a. Sometimes, VIA CUPS, it will print a test sheet, but I cant seem to get it to work locally with a raw queue. I've tried Foomatic but it just messed up my printer database so I reinstalled printconf, Linuxprinter.org says it is partially compatible with the omni driver, which I have

I've recently attempted to convert from the Adobe PostScript drivers for my Canon BJC=2110 printer over to the native CUPS Windows PS drivers and can't quite get things to work correctly. After deleting the printer on my WinXP SP1 clients, verifying under "Server Properties" that the Adobe driver was removed, then reconnecting to my Samba printer, I connect fine but receive

well i've tried everything trying to get r/w access to my linux box (debian 2.2.3 running samba 2.0.7) from win2k. can only get readonly. i'm hoping some kind sould might be able to take a look at my samba config and let me know what i'm doing wrong... # Samba config file created using SWAT # from localhost (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2001/11/01 00:39:30 # Global parameters [global]

At the end of a print job in my hp930c paralell printer in my samba-server (Suse Linux 8.0), an extra (blank) sheet is ejected. How can I correct this ??

Hello all, I am running a Debian testing/unstable system with samba 2.2.3a-6 and cupsys 1.1.15-4 as a member server in a samba domain. I have used CUPS to add a networked HP8100N printer and it works fine locally, but I'm having difficulty adding it to samba for Win98 domain clients to use. I ran cupsaddsmb to add the printer and drivers to samba, but it cannot find the PPD file... where is

CUPS for KDE, my printer does not work properly, it don't print all pages, misses connection with usb, etc. When I installed and configured in GNOME every thing seemed to be fine. When entering KDE it automatically adds two printers and generally brings the printer out of work. I have figured out that I am missing this support according to this link:

Hi list, I've just figured it out. When we're installing the drivers from adobe there's a part where we must "Select the Printer Model". By default it uses the "Generic Postscript Printer" (it has an associated PPD for that). We must get a PPD for our printer (installed on the linux server) from the www.linuxprinting.org, click the "Browse" button and

I am trying to allow printing from my linux box to my win98 box, to which my epson stylus printer is attached. It's just not happening...something tells me I'm flirting with a world of pain. I *can* print a file by going: smbclient //rory/EPSON translate print /etc/group but I cannot print from applications, nor can i use smbprint. I tried going: cat /etc/passwd | sh -x smbprint

Hello samba team ! I have configured a samba4 printer with CUPS as backend. And I have enabled the "load printers = yes" option in smb.conf. Nearly everything works well ! -> Samba detect the CUPS printers -> The printers appear automatically in the "printers" share -> On windows 7 I can add the server the printmanagement.msc and I see the printers -> I can upload

Hi, I'm trying to use Cups + Samba to make a print server for many purpouses. The main one is to account how many pages where printed by whom and centralize all printers in one server. If I configure samba and cups in the RAW mode using windows original drivers of the printers, everything works fine, but this way I can't use cups accounting. So I reinstaled all my printers

Does anyone know of a command line tool for printer configuration for CentOS 5. I have used "printconf-tui --Xexport > printers.xml" to copy my printer setup in CentOS 4.x (then Ximport to bring it back), but this no longer works in CentOS 5 and I would really like to retain this functionality. Can I re-install this tool or will it not work with the new CUPS? Is there an

I'm trying to change my Samba setup from LPD to CUPS, with little success. I've followed [and re-followed] the setup documentation from CUPS and I just can't get Samba to recognize my printer. The catch is - it sort of recognizes it :-( First I added these lines to my smb.conf: ========================================= [global] load printers = yes printing = cups printcap name =

I was tasked with migrating a bunch of printer entries from one box to another. What I did is I got a list of printer names along with IP addresses and using the CUPS lpadmin -p printer-name -E -v lpd://IP_ADDR/lp I loaded them onto the new machine running RHEL 4.6. Printer tests show that it works fine. And if I use the CUPS web interface at http://localhost:631 Everything shows up.
