hi all and thanks in advance for reading this
i have worked with samba for a while, sharing drives on my linux boxes and all went well until now.
now, i tried to share a printer.
1 i setup a printer in a box with cups. the printer is working fine in that host printing everything as it is told.
2 i tried to share the printer to: 2.1 one windows wrokstation in the lan 2.2 two linux boxes on the lan
with the following config file: [global] workgroup = PRINTSERVER netbios name = NEPTUN server string = neptun print server log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 security = share encrypt passwords = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 printcap name = lpstat printing = cups [printers] comment = All Printers printer = hp_670C path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = yes writable = no printable = yes create mode = 0700 print command = lpr -P %p -o raw %s -r lpq command = lpstat -o %p lprm command = cancel %p-%j use client driver = yes
i then made the client configuration on the windows workstation, and windows is printing well to my linux printing server with samba. it shares drives and the printer without any kind of problem.
the problem is that i cannot print form my linux boxes to that shared printer...
on linux boxes i made the following
1 configured one printer queue with cups linking the smbspool to /usr/lib/cups/backend/
ln -s /usr/bin/smbspool /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb
2 loaded the driver for hp 670c in cups
3 tried to print a test page and i did it successfully
now... the only thing is that i am only able to print test pages... and i can't figure out the command line options to print from my linux print clients to my linux print server...
windows is doing fine though.
other thing is that when I:
smbclient //neptun/printers
i can mount the share but it does not print.
