Hello to all,

        I am writing since I have a problem trying to print into a samba
server from any X Windows
application using cups. The computer I am trying to print from uses Linux
Mandrake version 7.2 and
the cups related program versions, according to the "rpm -qa |grep
cups" command output, are

        libcups1-1.1.5-3mdk
        cups-common-1.1.5-3mdk
        libqtcups1-1.1-2.1mdk
        qtcups-1.1-2.1mdk
        cups-1.1.5-3mdk
        cups-drivers-1.0-3mdk
 
        From a shell I am able to print a text file using lpr normally.
 
        After trying to print from any X Windows application, the printer
is disabled as the lpq
 command reports:
 
 
        [fabian@ahuizotl fabian]$ lpq
        lp is not ready
        Rank    Owner   Job     File(s)                         Total Size

bytes
 
The content of /var/log/cups/error_log is the following:
 
I [04/Feb/2001:09:56:35 +0000] Job 34 queued on 'lp' by 'fabian'.

I must remove the job:
 
        [fabian@ahuizotl fabian]$ lprm 34
        [fabian@ahuizotl fabian]$ lpq
        lp is not ready
        no entries
 
and enable the remote printer with "lpadmin -plp -E" as root:
 
        [root@ahuizotl /root]# lpadmin -plp -E
        [root@ahuizotl /root]# lpq
        lp is ready
 
 
        Does anyone know how to fix this ? Any idea would be greatly
appreciated.
 
        Fabian.
