Ok... and away we go... printing works now. Richard what do you make of the fact that I cannot connect to cups with the normal http://locahost:631?

However I don't think this is the only problem. I really hope there is not some other moronic user miconfig... It's really a kick in the pants that my very first post on this thread Showed that stupid typo... I never would have seen it I guess, if you had not. But it was there in my very first post... looking back it appears glaringly right their in my posted `printers.conf'. It seems bad to me that something in cups error output did not point to that misconstrued URL. In fact, going further... I see literally thousands of lines appear in error_log (in debug mode) that are not error lines at all. Then the actual error lines are nearly useless in tracking down a problem. I'm still unable to print (EVEN WITH THAT CURSED URL FIXED). It may be too much to expect you to still hang in there with this problem so please tell me you've had enough if that is the case. If you are still willing... (and I cannot guarantee there is not some other horribly stupid user error) what can I post that will help diagnose this inability to print? I've posted below error_log excerpt, /tmp file content. smbclient connection to chub-print (at the very end) Why doesn't cups debug output give us some better diagnostic information?

There were two. I've printed the first one below. The second one is identicle except for the first line which is shown in a diff at the end.

Somekind of stepping problem seems to have prevented a real print. I got 2 pages. one page with the first and second line of fstab. The second line was indented about half a page. Then a blank page. Ok, that's good. The staircasing is easily explained/fixed, but not really important. Mostly we are just interested in the fact that that command did connect and try and print. First, do an "ls -l /usr/libexec/cups/backend/smb" It should be a symbolic link pointing to /usr/bin/smbspool. If it is, then we need to see what the differences are between running that command directly vs the way cups runs it. We can use some shell script trickery to do this: 1. mv /usr/bin/smbspool /usr/bin/smbspool.bin 2. $EDITOR /usr/bin/smbspool Make a new script that contains: -- #!/bin/bash tmpfile=/tmp/smbspool.$$ echo $0:$1:$2:$3:$4:$5:$6:$7 > $tmpfile env >>$tmpfile # this part is just a guess.. export DEVICE_URI=$0 /usr/bin/smbspool $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 >>$tmpfile -- 3. chmod 755 /usr/bin/smbspool Try printing again through cups. After the failure, you should have one or more /tmp/smbspool.* files.

I've never really had trouble getting printing to work thru samba until now and have setup it up at least 5-6 times. The method you propose in the URL above does sound interesting and I may give it a try just to compare it to the samba approach. Thanks -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
