I have a Fedora 17 Linux box and a HP Laser Jet Professional P1102 attached via USB cable. I can send print job to this printer from the Linux box and it works fine. I use CUPS system for printing. I have another computer laptop that has Windows 7 as the operating system and I like to share files and printer that is attached to this Linux box. Therefore, I decided to install Samba version 3.6.12-1 and set the file and printer sharing as it is recommended by the following site:
https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/CUPS-printing.html When I go to my PC I can see the hp laser jet printer Icon in the Network window. I set this hp laser jet as my default printer. I tried to print a file from Microsoft Words but nothing comes out of the server printer. In the following I have the section of the Samba and smb.conf ====== Global Settings ======= workgroup = workgroup server string = Samba Server Version %v hosts allow = 127. 192.168.1. printcap name = cups printing = cups ===== Standalone Server Options==== security = share ==== Printing Options=== cups options = raw ===Share Definitions=== [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes valid users = %S [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = yes writable = no use client driver = yes printable = yes [allusers] comment = All Users path = /home/shares/allusers valid users = Rayman force group = users create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0771 writable = yes ; browseable = yes The result of testparm is: Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions [global] server string = Samba Server Version %v security = SHARE log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 printcap name = cups idmap config * : backend = tdb hosts allow = 127., 192.168.1. cups options = raw [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S read only = No browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba guest ok = Yes printable = Yes print ok = Yes use client driver = Yes browseable = No [allusers] comment = All Users path = /home/shares/allusers valid users = Rayman force group = users read only = No create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0771 Please let me know what I am missing that nothing gets printed. sincerely, Ray -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
