Hello there, I have a solaris 8 server running cups 1.1.20 and samba 3.0.1. We've successfully configured a handful of HP Laserjet network printers to work with our windows clients (works like a champ...very happy with winbind and the "point and print" automatic driver installation).
However, we can't print from Solaris clients? We have one physical printer and two queues created (one for the windows clients shared with Samba and one set for Solaris). The windows share is set up with "raw" and the client then uses it's own driver. The Solaris queue is set to HP and the generic laserjet.ppd. The windows queue prints fine but the unix queue prints nothing (it just shows up as a cancelled job under the cups web interface). If I change the Solaris queue to raw as well, it prints out garbage (but it does at least print something). One final note, we can't use the "configure" option in the cups gui (localhost:631 and then printers) on shared printers. It gives a "client-error". We don't specify individual printers in the smb.conf file (we just tell it to share all of them) so I'm guessing that the few printers I can do this too will stop allowing me to use the "configure" option once I restart samba. Do we need to go grab gimp-print for more drivers or is this some other problem? Sorry for the long post (we're very close to getting this completely working and I'm rambling now :) Thanks, -Tim ===== "Human beings act intelligently only after they have exhausted the alternatives" -- Abba Eban __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
