Resolved mostly: Help with CUPS- printing from Windows to Debian print server

2011-11-24 Thread keitho
OK, I fixed my immediate problem by changing the permissions for /home/smbprint/ like this: #chmod 777 /home/smbprint/ Now I can print from any Windows box to my Debian CUPS server. My understanding of security is very weak; luckily I am just working on my home setup. But I thought the whole poi

Thanks Pablo for responding, but still no joy. After hours of trying different things, I finally went in search of log files in Samba. I found that there were different relevant log files in /var/log/samba depending, evidently, on how I had set things up at that time. For example, from yesterday

You can point the printer in the lower part of the windows box, with the printer url, like http://yourdebianbox:631/printers/yourprinter or something like that, and windows will user ipp protocol to reach the printer. You will have to bring the windows driver to the windows box. Beware of confi

I have set up a CUPS server on one of my Debian boxes, directly attached via parallel port. I can print to it from a different Debian box on my LAN, but not from a Windows box. The Windows box does see the printer, and says the printer is setup properly and sends jobs to the printer with no errors

Hi, I try to build up a print server "printe" (192.168.1.3) for my little local network based on Debian 1.3.1. Using lpd, magicfilter, and gs-aladin (plus gsfonts), "wotan-e" (192.168.1.1) should be able to print a PostScript file to "printe". Local printing on "printe" is fine, and network serv

As far as I can tell, the lpd on my system isn't listening on TCP socket 515, which is what I would expect it to listen to from looking at /etc/services. It's only listening to /dev/printer, if you give it the "-l 515" argumnent when it starts, it'll listen. Someone more familiar with the program w

I just happen to be working on a similar problem tonight. One thing that appears to be needed is to stop and restart lpd (a kill -HUP does not do the trick!) by going into /etc/init.d and issuing a /lpd stop then a /lpd start and changes to your /etc/printcap should then take effect. I hav

So, if you "telnet localhost 515" on your system, does it get a connection? That's what I was using to see if anything answered on the port. Thanks Bruce -- Can you get your operating system fixed when you need it? Linux - the supportable operating system. http://www.debian.org/s
