Perhaps you can provide a little information about your printer and how you have things configured. What kind of printer is it (HP Photospart C7280, Epson CX8300, ...)? How are you configured to communicate with it (USB, socket, ipp, lpd, ...)? How did you create your queue? Which PPD file are you using? Do you have GhostScript, hpijs, gimpprint, foomatic-rip, ... installed? Did you up the log level in cups and take a look at it ?
As for the access from a Windows box, since you are using the in-kernel CIFS support, you can't use SMB based printing at this time. You need to use IPP. On the Windows box, the printer uri for your queue will be something like "http://hostname:631/printers/queue";. -Norm Matt Harrison wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm trying to get a printer to work for my network through CUPS.
