List, I am working with SAMBA/CUPS for printing on SLES10 SP2 for the first time.
I have CUPS enabled and can print from the Linux guest to the printer as LPD or IPP. For now all I want to do is simple printing from Linux to the Printer which is working and printing from Windows desktop to the printer which is not working. No security for printing initially. I am having problems with printing from a Windows desktop to the printer thru Linux/CUPS. When I define the printer in Windows it comes back with a message that the printer is not spelled correctly or is not found. Searching thru the Marist Listserve Archive I see that CUPS by default does not open or open port 515 for LPD which it is not open at this time. I believe I saw something that says you also must setup or start CUPS-LPD ? Will setting up the CUPS-LPD open port 515 ? That inetd or xinetd may need to be enabled with a printer definition in it ? The desktops and the printer have the IP address in the same subnet but the Linux guest with SAMBA and CUPS is on a different subnet. Is there something I need to do to make sure that the printer or CUPS printer is broadcast to all subnets ? Most everything I can find on SAMBA/CUPs is a bit dated except for the presentations I have found. Any guidance here would be appreciated. TIA ................................ Regards, Terry L.
