[Samba] Printer on WinXP
Thomas Bergstam thomas at acat.se Sat Jan 3 18:10:22 GMT 2004 Hi all, Is it possible to use a printer attached to a WinXP computer from Linux (Suse) using only console mode, ie. no graphic mode? Yes. 1. Make sure your WinXP-attached printer is shared. 2. Make sure you use CUPS as a printing system. 3. Make sure you know about CUPS and PPDs. 4. Know that WinXP (Prof!) is capable of using IPP as a print protocol 5. Know that Microsoft, in their unlimited wisdom decided to use as a printer URI this: http://[IP-address of WinXP]:80/[printer-sharename]/.printer 6. Install the printer (assuming IP for WinXP is 11.12.13.14 and printer-sharename of printer is my_printer): lpadmin -p printername -v http://11.12.13.14:80/my_printer/.printer -E -P /path/to/PPD 7. Print to your heart's limits fromt the commandline: lp -d printername /path/to/printfile Cheers, Kurt P.S:: Please bear in mind, that you may not receive anyone's attention to your question, if you continue to miss providing *any* details about your system, like XP Home or XP Prof?, Version of SuSE? etc. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Configuration requirements are covered in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf.

Without thinking much about this, let me ask. How do you start smbd? With xinetd or as a freestanding daemon? Joel On Mon, Mar 17, 2003 at 04:27:28PM -0800, Jeff D.

Sometimes xinetd causes trouble. You may be starting it with xinetd and not know it. What does netstat -apn | grep 13 show? Joel On Tue, Mar 18, 2003 at 09:47:15AM -0800, Jeff D.

Re: [Samba] still can't print to samba printer from winxp
This looks ok. Are you sure the error messages you submitted were actually errors associated with your lack of print access? Joel -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: [Samba] still can't print to samba printer from winxp
Why do you have printable in your homes share? Which printing system are you using? Have you tried something simple like: print command = echo Tried to print %s /tmp/printjob in your printer share. Are the permissions on /var/spool/samba set properly? What type of client are you trying to print from? Joel On Mon, Mar 17, 2003 at 04:27:28PM -0800, Jeff D.
