The short question is this. I've added a Samsung ML-1710 laser printer to my Fedora system. How do I share this printer with Samba?
i had a similar problem to my HP PSC 750 - also via USB. Some documents need printed by samba via a kind of application stream, this is not fully enabled in cups. So, my printer works now, with a small workaround:
try the following, it helped for me, perhaps you have the same effect:
insert in your /etc/samba/smb.conf in your [printers] part:
print command = lpr -r -o raw -P %p %s lpq command = lpstat -o %p lprm command = cancel %p-%j
this tells samba to send the data in raw-format and other things.
then, comment out (activate) the following lines (at the end of the files) so they look like:
files: /etc/cups/mime.types and mime.convs application/octet-stream application/vnd.cups-raw 0 -
Roger,
Your suggestions did seem to solve my problem. I can now print to the laser printer remotely with Samba. Thanks!
So when I said that I didn't know if the problem was with Samba or CUPS, I was right ;). Out of curiosity, how did you figure the solution?
Thanks!
Andrew
