Hi. I am trying to follow the simplest implementation of linux printing and can't get it to work. Following the SAMBA quickstart how-to I set up the following SAMBA config. Everything works except the printer.
[global] workgroup = myworkgroup netbios name = myserver security = share printcap name = cups disable spoolss = Yes show add printer wizard = No printing = cups encrypt password = Yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u server string = s %v on %L [printers] path = /var/spool/samba guest ok = Yes printable = Yes use client driver = Yes browseable = No the spool directory is set up as drwxrwxr-t 2 root root 4096 Sep 26 2003 samba I also enabled the raw mime handler in the /etc/mime.conv and /etc/mime.types files. So now I enter any Windows XP machine (home or professional), install the printer locally and try to print a test page and I get the following error: "Test page failed to print. Would you like to view the print troubleshooter for assistance? Unable to create a print job." If I try to print from notepad I get "A StartDocPrinter call was not issued." Any thoughts on how I can get over this hurdle? Thanks, Tim -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
