-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- The problem: Cannot print OS: Windows XP printing to Redhat Linux 7.3
Summary: I've tried both SAMBA and IPP printing in 7.3 and neither will allow me to print from any computer other than localhost. SAMBA and IPP using CUPS have different problems as follows: Additional info: - -The username and password I am using on the Linux system and in SAMBA is the same as the username and password I am using in Windows. The Windows user is an administrator; the Linux user is a normal user. - -In the registry, the "signandseal" option is set to '1'. - -I am logging into Webmin and CUPS Config using root - -Webmin and CUPS config are limitted to only allowing access from three hosts - -I can print locally - -I can share files between Windows XP and the Redhat machine When lp is running and the printer is shared using SAMBA I can find the printer by browsing and I can install a driver for it, but the status of the printer is always "printer on integra Access is denied, unable to connect". Documents can be printed from applications, but they dissapear into a mysterious void, never showing up in the local print que or in the Redhat print que. When CUPS is running and the printer is shared via IPP, I can access the printer by adding it in the Printers control panel, but when I choose any of the three options for authentication (anonymous, automatically use the windows login name, use the specified user account) I get "You do not have permission to access the printer. Please specify a different username or password." I have tried: - -All of my Linux usernames - -All of my windows usernames - -Anonymous The problem is that there does not apear to be a way to specify users for IPP. I mean, if I were writing a configuration tool for CUPS (which supports IPP) one of the most important things I would put into my project basket is a way to configure users. I tried reading the documentation for CUPS, but there isn't any information in the docs for actually USING CUPS. It's all information on the standards and protocols that CUPS uses. I don't want to write a new interface for CUPS, I just want to manage users. I tried: - -Searching Google for relevant information - -Searching all newsgroups for relevant information - -Searching the CUPS mailing list and news archives on the CUPS web site for relavent information Here's one thing I tried (from http://linux.uni-regensburg.de/neu_frame/main/adminfaq.html#faq11): [How do I allow others to print on my local printer ? At first become root using "su -". Then edit "/psi_local/config/etc/printcap". Insert a line [host] allow where [host] is the ip-address of the computer you wish to print from. On the computer you wish to print from point your favorite webbrowser to http://localhost:631. Choose "Do Administration Tasks", enter your username and password and choose "Add Printer" and add the printer with device "ipp:" and device uri "ipp://[phost]/printers/[name]" where [phost] is the computer the printer is connected to and [name] is the name of the printer.] Since I'm setting up the printer on a Windows XP machine, I only did the first part that includes editing the printcap file(because CUPS isn't running on the Windows XP machine). That didn't fix the problem (even after restarting CUPS), it just added a weird entry in the list of printers in Webmin "Printer Administration" section for each host I added. I deleted those entries. I feel like I've covered just about all of the bases, but I'm still missing something. I've been at this for about four hours and I've done everything I can think of to print from Windows to Redhat and it still doesn't work. It worked fine out of the box with [insert competing product name that is made to look like Windows XP]. I'm new to this list so I'm not sure if my post format is correct, or if this post is even relavent, but this is the only list I could find in the list of lists that looked close to relevant. Could anyone help me out or point me in the right direction with a mimimum of angst? - -- - -Majik Do not enjoy yourself.
