Hello
I recently "upgraded" from RedHat 9 to Fedora.
I have always used lprng. I was very disapointed to find that it was
removed.
I have tried to share the printers that I have on my linux box. I have
4 windows machines that use my printers. I have an Hp dj600 and an
Epson C80 on the linux box.
I have never had any problems shareing them with lprng and samba.
After installing Fedora I learned that I had to use CUPS. I could make
my printers work on the linux machine but the windows machines could not
print. They would show up in windows explorier but not in the list when
you would add a network printer. Nothing I tried seamed to work until I
ran across a posting via a web search that indicated a problem in samba
3.0 and it worked with an earlier version of samba. I uninstalled samba
and downloaded the samba rpms for samba-2.2.7-5.8.0. I think the samba
files used in RedHat 8.0.
Now my HP works fine.
On the windows machines, when you say add printer and select network and
browse you see both printers and installs for both seam to work. The
Epson still won't print.
In printer configuration both printers are shared. Both work on the
linux box.
Try adding the printing variable to the global section:
printing = cups
>From the smb.conf man page
"printing (S)
This parameters controls how printer status
information is interpreted on your system. It also affects the default
values for the print command, lpq command, lppause command, lpresume
command, and lprm command if specified in the [global] section."
you need to use both "printcap" and "printing"
Samba Config is as follows:

Cups
mime.convs has the following line uncommented:

mime.types has the following line uncommented:
application/octet-stream
cups error log still indicates the following when I try to print to the C80;
E [02/Feb/2004:12:13:22 -0600] print_job: Unsupported format
'application/octet-stream'!
I [02/Feb/2004:12:13:22 -0600] Hint: Do you have the raw file printing
rules enabled?
No errors printing to the HP.
There is no entry that shows up in the print queue.
If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
