Re: [Samba] Printing not working after upgrading to 3.0.4
It's working now. I think it was a combination of several of these things. This was actually a pretty good troubleshooting-samba-printing-in-general guide. The bottom line is, I am now up and printing again. Your logical thought process just pointed me in the Right Direction (tm). Thanks.

Cheers, Kurt Hi, i had many printing Problems as i upgraded to sernet suse samba rpms 3.04, i now use suse orginal rpms from ftp.suse.com projects samba ( which seems now is the valid update path ) and the problems are gone , so it looks like a compile problem to cups devel by sernet .. or something like this , this just for info Regards -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

[Samba] Printing not working after upgrading to 3.0.4
Skip Morrow skip-samba at pelorus.org Sun May 23 10:47:12 GMT 2004 I read your mail, but I don't see anything that could cause your problem. Please re-post with a few more details. Tell us about your printer type(s), the driver(s) you use on the Win clients, which Samba version you was using previously, what the settings of your smb.conf are (please strip comments), which CUPS version you use, which OS version your Samba is installed on, etc. I have an HP, 2100M printer. The driver that I have loaded in Windows is HP Laserjet 2100 Series PS. *How* did you install that driver? And the printer you own is in fact a PostScript-enabled modell? (Sorry, I don't know by heart if that 2100M defaults to include PS, or if PS is only an upgrade option) If you installed it as a local client driver, you have to use use client driver = yes in smb.conf (this is not the recommended setting, but works also). A locally installed driver (for a shared printer) on the client can be more exposed with this commandline (in a Samba host shell), even if the test page isn't printing: rpcclient -Uwindowsuser%windowspassword -c enumdrivers 3 windowshostname This command shows up pretty much the same info as a printed testpage would do If you installed it via Point'n'Print, you should be able to use that command in a Samba host shell: rpcclient -Uroot%smbpasswd-of-root -c enumdrivers 3 localhost Unfortunately, I don't have any more information The operating system? Linux? Which distro? Who built the Samba packages? Is CUPS support compiled into the Samba binaries? about the driver becasue I can't print the test page. See above.

(It works for Samba, since smbd transmits the file to cupsd from localhost...).

Better use MaxLogSize 10m LogLevel debug and have all the relevant info at your fingertips. In case there is really a severe problem, you can always go for debug2 and 50 MByte for a limited period of troubleshooting. What do you see in the /var/cups/log/error_log as noted when the job arrives at CUPS? Look for a line containing print_job: auto-typing file... and the following print_job: request file type is What is it? Also
