Windows spooler will send printer ready data (pcl in this case) to the Linux server. Cups on Linux side will then send the raw data to the printer bypassing hplip. The only piece of hplip that will come into play here is the hp usb backend. You can change it to system's usb back end (assuming the printer is connected via usb) and try again. If that works, then you have a case against hplip. At the time you are setting up the queue, the transaction is between Windows spooler and Samba, hplip wouldn't be invoked. Hope this helps. Raghu

I tried printing from MS windows (Media Center Edition - it's like XP, I guess) via IPP (http://host/printers/printer). But it didn't work with "generic - MS Imagesetter" nor with "HP - HP photosmart 3100". Moreover, "add printer" dialog froze after selecting driver. In cups' error_log I could see these messages (debug level) repeating every 2 seconds: D [18/Oct/2007:20:40:37 +0200] cupsdReadClient: 7 POST /printers/HPc3100 HTTP/1.1 D [18/Oct/2007:20:40:37 +0200] cupsdAuthorize: No authentication data provided. D [18/Oct/2007:20:40:37 +0200] Get-Printer-Attributes http://minerva:631/printers/HPc3100 D [18/Oct/2007:20:40:37 +0200] cupsdProcessIPPRequest: 7 status_code=0 (successful-ok) after stopping "Print spooler" in windows, "add printer" dialog unfroze and I could go on with adding printer. Printing from another cups client to this cups server (same printer) works fine, printing from same windows client to another printer on same cups server works fine as well! That's why I think it's a problem in hplip. distro: ubuntu gutsy gibbon (beta) printer: HP Photosmart C3110 Printer Driver: HP PhotoSmart C3100 Foomatic/hpijs (recommended) Device URI: hp:/usb/Photosmart_C3100_series?serial=CN6C6C52Q304P9 But I found similar problems with different photosmart printers, when googling for solution. workaround: *remove all relevant printers in windows client *reset print spooler *create new "proxy" printer in cups (set address http://localhost:631/printers/HPc3100), and driver generic - generate pdf *in windows add this "proxy" printer (with MS Imagesetter driver) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
