Sorry I have no instant answer except the following comments: 1. I'm betting linux will make a better print server than windows
2. racking up the logging level in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf should give you some more clues to google on. LogLevel info is the standard, you have the following options: # LogLevel: controls the number of messages logged to the ErrorLog # file and can be one of the following: # # debug2 Log everything. # debug Log almost everything. # info Log all requests and state changes. # warn Log errors and warnings. # error Log only errors. # none Log nothing. I suggest you try debug first, and restart cupsd after you change the setting. Once you have the problem sussed, switch it back to "info" as debug[2] creates a whole swag of info :) On Sun, 25 Sep 2005 22:36:42 +0000 Ian Porter wrote: > Hi all, > > I am trying to print on my linux pc via a windows xp pro pc (the printer is a > HP 1110 PSC), but I have followed the advice on > http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_print_winserver > but keep on either getting > NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED message via the smb url or ERRDOS via the lpd method. > > I have tried to have the smb://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pcname/printer and also my > smb://userid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pcname/printer > (with also the lpd version) but that does not work either, I just get either > access denied or just sticks at 21% printer (on the test printer part of > cups) and then it says that the pc is not available, > > /var/log/cups/error_log > [Job 1] Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry in 60 seconds...ERROR: > Connection failed with error NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED > [Job 1] ERRDOS - ERRbadaccess (Invalid open mode.) opening remote spool Te > st Page > > /etc/cups/printers.conf > DeviceURI smb://NAME/HP1110 > > I have turned off any firewall that was on the windows pc (just incase) but > still no joy. > > Any advice ? > > I used to have the Linux machine as the print server, but found that my wife > was using the printer far more than me thus made more sense to have the > printer on her pc, if I log onto windows on my pc the printer works fine so > it is shared *ok* as such. > > Thanks > Ian > PC - 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 > CUPS - 1.1.23 > SAMBA - 3.0.14a > -- > [email protected] mailing list -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [email protected] mailing list
