I have a small network with 3 computers, 2 with windows xp andone with Debian. My plan is to use the debian box as a printer server amongst other things.
I have successfully installed the printer with the cusp web interface, and it prints like it should from the linux box. I have also successfully installed samba, I can access files from on the debian box from the xp ones.
I have tried two approaches to printing from the xp boxes. First I connected directly to the printer via url: http://debianbox:631/printers/debianprinter. Windows signals the printer as ready, but when I try to print, nothing happens.
The same thing applys to printing with samba, i succesfully add the printer in SWAT, andget a ready signal from it in xp, but when I print nothing happens. I don't have a clue on how to get thisto work. I've looked at various documentation and discussions, but to no use...
Anyone know what the problem is?
smb.conf is here: http://www.apspektakel.com/smb.conf
and cupsd.conf is here: http://www.apspektakel.com/cupsd.conf
I also just found that when trying to print directly to cups, these error messages are found in the log:
E [23/Jun/2004:19:30:05 +0200] get_printer_attrs: resource name '/printers/lp' no good!
E [23/Jun/2004:19:30:05 +0200] get_jobs: resource name '/printers/lp' no good!
