Re: Redhat 9 can't print to Win2000 shared printer via Cups/Samba?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The printer is directly connected to lpt1 on the W2K machine and shared as HP5N. On the Redhat 9 machine I am just trying to setup a smb print que via printconf to print to this Windows printer share. Samba on the Redhat box is only used to talk with the other Win boxes...not to share anything - it's a netbios client here. The applet (printconf or redhat-config-printer) tries to autodiscover the host/share (which is flaky)- sometimes it only sees the netbios name of the W2K host sometimes it lists both the host and the HP5N share. The hourglass keeps spinning. Even if I set the share up explicitly by setting all entries myself, (i.e. workgroup, host, share, id and passwd) the applet keeps coming back up with the settings window looking for more information. No probs printing through Windows hosts on my network, and connecting to netbios directory shares on the W2K box via Redhat 9. Hope that is clearer.

I have my server and workstation setup to print to a shared printer to a
Win ME machine with no problems.  Are you printing directly to the
printer through W2K or did you setup the printer through the W2K
machine, and now trying to set it up for users to print through the
samba server, then to the W2K machine?

And what do you mean it flakes?  What steps are you performing and up to
what step does it finally crash?
