Hello,
I have LM 7.2 in my computer using CUPS to print. There is an HP
DeskJet 840C attached to the parallel port and a HP LaserJet 5M attached
to a samba server in the local network.
I configured the printer in the samba server with the utility
included with DrakConf. Everything went fine, even the printing test
succeded. From a shell any user could print with lpr. But as soon as I
tried to print from an X Window application (I tried Netscape and
KWord) or tried to configure the printer for Star Office, the printer was
disabled and nothing was printed. The session is as follows.
Being prueba.txt a simple text file...
[fabian@ahuizotl fabian]$ lpr prueba.txt
[fabian@ahuizotl fabian]$ lpq
lp is ready
no entries
So far the printing was succesful. But after sending a Netscape
(or KWord or Star Office, etc. ) document as a non privileged user, I get
what follows and nothing prints:
[fabian@ahuizotl fabian]$ lpq
lp is not ready

Did anyone of you have this problem and came with a solution?
Thanks for reading this request for help. Have a nice day.
Fabian.
