UBUNTU 12.4
PRINTING PROBLEM (SINCE LAST CUPS UPDATE, I THINK)
I have 2 computers in a network. I call them neddy and nelly.
Samba installed and configured on both.
Neddy has a printer attached. Nelly has not.
Nelly has always, until recently, been able to print to neddy's printer.
All configurations are the same as they were whenit all worked.
Since a recent update, I can only print from nelly to neddy's printer as
follows:
Finish work, eg in nelly's word processor then hit the word processor's
print button.
[at this point nothing prints. The print job appears in nelly's print queue
with a message
saying "processing - printer not connected?" Neddy's printer is connected,
ready and
configured as shared on both neddy and nelly.]
On rebooting nelly, the job prints on neddy's printer.
>From then on, after the first job has actually been printed, I can print
>normally from
applications running in nelly to neddy's printer for as long as both neddy and
nelly
remain up (running) - days, weeks. I can even switch the printer on and off in
between
times without and adverse effect.
Without rebooting there is no way that I have found to make the print job
actually print.
Restarting CUPS doesn't work.
Temporary solution: I ask nelly's user to put a copy of what needs printing in
her Public folder.
I then pick it up from there through Samba and print it on neddy.
