Hi all,
I'm new to the mailing list, but have been using Arch for over a year now.
I've just recently started to have problems printing to my shared
printer that is connected to my desktop XP box. Within the last month,
samba/cups printing was broken...
I started digging around, and read on the mailing list archives about
other people having problems with the current samba package and dug into
the abs samba folder. There is a GCC 4 patch in there that is messing
around with something when the samba package is built on a GCC 3
install. As noted by others in the mailing list, doing a smbclient -V
does not function on the current package, however, I rebuilt it from abs
without the GCC 4 patch and now it does work correctly.
However, even after getting the samba package "working" (I use the
term loosely) correctly, I still get strange errors when trying to print
via cups/samba. All sorts of errors from "Tree connect failed" to
"client-error-forbidden"...so something is clearly still wrong with
either samba or cups...or both.
I can absolutely verify that nothing has changed on the XP box that
the printer is connected to, since I don't use it for anything other
than basic print server and dvd burner...
Any ideas??
