Hello! This issue has been done to death on the Web, but I'm not sure where the following derivative problem belongs:
I have an openSUSE 10.2 "vanilla" installation with Samba set up as a server for my Windows work group, with all Win 2K clients. The Linux system is fully patched. I have a parallel port HP printer attached to the Linux box - which works fine, locally. CUPS operates as expected, without problems. When I try to print something from a Win 2K client, say a browser page - there is a flurry of activity on the net (from the blinking lights on the hub) - and then, nothing. If on the client, I open up a command line and do something like this: print /d:\\<server_name>\<printer_share_name> <little_text_file> <little_text_file> gets printed as expected. Other things: 1. The smb.conf file is maintained using SWAT, and follows the help instructions for configuration with CUPS. 2. The CUPS and Samba spool directories have (at least for now) rwx permissions for all users. 3. A second Win 2K client running as a VMware guest shows precisely the same behavior. 4. A look at the Samba & CUPS logs suggests that Samba is not passing stuff to CUPS. (Attempting to print from Word on either client also produces nothing as above, but with the additional bonus that Word crashes.) As a matter of interest, I noticed this behavior from the time SUSE moved from lprng to CUPS (V9?). At the time, I had one Win 2K client, a few spare cables and an electronic printer A-B box, so I took the easy way out. I now want to add more Win clients - so it's time to bite the bullet. Cheers, Daniel
