Public bug reported: I have a small server with a printer (HP Officejet PRO K550) connected to it. I have shared this printer using samba with the rest of the network (Windows 7 pc's). I use the hpcups 3.12.2 driver.
The problem is that I can not print pdf files from the windows 7 pc. I can however print any other type of file (MS Word, png) from the windows pc. Also when I am on the server, I can print pdf files. When I look in the cups job list I can not see a job when I try to print a pdf file over the internet. There are no entries in the samba log files (log.smbd & log.nmbd) or the cups log files (access_log & error_log) around the time I try to print a pdf from my windows pc. lsb_release -rd: Description: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS Release: 12.04 samba: Installed: 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.3 Candidate: 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.3 Version table: *** 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.3 0 500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.1 0 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security/main amd64 Packages 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2 0 500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages cups: Installed: 1.5.3-0ubuntu4 Candidate: 1.5.3-0ubuntu4 Version table: *** 1.5.3-0ubuntu4 0 500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1.5.2-9ubuntu1 0 500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1047398 Title: remote printing using samba cups fails for pdf files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1047398/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
