Terry, I'm not sure this will help, but I HAD the same problems in 8.1 that you seem to be having. I somehow conquered them when I installed 8.2, but I doubt the upgrade helped. I must have finally done something right. I even have the printer test page upon my wall as a trophy. ;) Here are some things I would look for:
Are you sending your username/password to print on the network? I stumbled here. In my /etc/cups/printers.conf I have a line for my Win2K network printer that looks like: DeviceURI smb://username:password@servername/printername I specified my credentials when I added the printer using the CUPS web admin interface. Is your /etc/samba/smb.conf OK? Here are some settings I have in mine that might be important: workgroup=<my logon domain> encrypt passwords=yes wins server= <IP address 1> <IP address 2> Make sure your firewall, if present, is not interfering. And lastly, look for entries in your various /var/log files for any clues. - Kathy On Sun, 2002-04-28 at 23:53, Terry wrote: > I'm still having trouble with this .. can anyone offer any suggestions? > > Anyone experiencing problems printing to a networked printer in a > windows 2000 domain using LM 8.2 and its version of Samba and CUPS? > > I am able to print using LM 8.1 and its version of Samba and CUPS, but > in LM 8.2, I use KUPS to add the windows shared printer, but when I try > to print something, it hangs in the local queue, never goes to the print > server, and doesn't make it to the printer.
