I thought this should go in the networking forum because the problem seems to be network or Samba related. Here is the deal. I have an HP PSC 1300 series printer that connected via usb to my Ubuntu server. I installed the server version of Ubuntu, so I do not have a GUI. I followed the steps below to set up the printer.

HP printer setup to share a printer on an ubuntu server with Windows
clients.

install hplip
http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/install.php
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
$ sudo apt-get install python2.4-dev python2.4-qt3 libcupsys2-dev
libsnmp5-dev libjpeg62-dev lsb libtool automake libusb-dev cupsys gs
$ tar xvfz hplipX.X.X.tar.gz
$ cd hplipX.X.X
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo /etc/init.d/hplip restart
$ sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
$ sudo hp-setup

install samba
$ sudo apt-get install samba smbclient
$ sudo /etc/samba/smbpasswd -a user_name

in /etc/samba/smb.conf

[global]
security = user
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
invalid users = # no invalid users
load printers = yes
printing = cups
printcap name = cups

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browsable = yes
writable = yes
create mask = 0700
directory mask = 0700

[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browsable = yes
public = no
writable = no
printable = yes
create mode = 0700

[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /etc/samba/drivers
browsable = yes
public = no
read only = yes
write list = root

$ sudo mkdir /etc/samba/drivers
$ sudo mkdir /var/spool/samba
$ sudo chmod 777 /var/spool/samba
$ sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart

copy to /usr/share/cups/drivers (or the cups data directory)
ps5ui.dll
pscript.hlp
pscript.ntf
pscript5.dll

$ sudo cupsaddsmb -a -v

This all works fine. I can connect to the printer from my Windows XP clients, and I can send print jobs to the printer. When printing a test page (or any other print job for that matter) from a Windows client, the printer prints about half of it and then errors out. All the lights on the printer start flashing and the printer stop printing. If I use lp, lpr, lpq, lpadmin all work locally on the Ubuntu server, and printing works perfectly when the print job originates from the server. Here is the cups error_log for a test page that was sent to the server from a Windows XP client.

All I want to do is be able to print from my Windows XP clients. If you need any other information, let me know and I will post it.

Thanks in advance.

Robert.

Just wanted to add that the printer works perfectly when a print job is sent from a Linux client. Therefore the problem I am having is limited to print jobs sent from Windows XP clients.

You're using the cups drivers for Windows, correct?

I had a similar problem; sometimes there are multiple drivers for a single printer. I had to change mine around a few times. Sometimes the printer bombed in the middle of a job, sometimes right at the end. The HPLIP driver worked for me, but the HPIJS didn't.

FYI, I have also uncommented the lines in /etc/cups/mime.types and /etc/cups/mime.convs that start with application/octet-stream and then restarted cupsd, and this did not solve the problem either.

I have tryed both HPIJS and HPLIP, and HPLIP is the only one that actually got the printer to do anything. Of course, HPIJS is part of the HPLIP install, so I do have them both.

Okay.

Try deleting all the printers from CUPS, then delete ALL the drivers. Get the HPLIP package and try it again, see what happens. You might also want to redo the 'cupsaddsmb' step, too, after you delete the drivers and re-install the HPLIP, as it looks like your Windows computers possibly got ahold of the wrong PPD.

Also, check and make sure your Winders computers got all the drivers. cupsaddsmb always bombed on me for whatever reason. Never could figure it out, but adding the printer(s) manually works just fine.

OK, I tried what you said but it did not solve the problem. I'm thinking about redownloading the hplip tar and trying again. I used the same tar that I originally downloaded this time. Anyway, the files available for my Windows clients lie in the /etc/samba/drivers/W32X86/3/ directory. The contents of that directory are

ps5ui.dll
psc_1300.ppd
pscript5.dll
pscript.hlp
pscript.ntf

As far as I can tell, that is the correct ppd file. I don't know. I'm getting rather frustrated. I'll try a freshly downloaded hplip.0.9.9.tar.gz and see if that makes a difference.

If anyone else has any advice on this issue, please don't be shy.

Thanks in advance.

Robert.

OK, even a freshly downloaded hplip0.9.9.tar.gz did not fix the problem. Its only an issue when sending a print job from a Windows XP client. I even tried redownloading and useing fresh pscript files for Windows XP. So at this point I am out of ideas.

Anyone else have any ideas?

Yeah, search for the actual CUPS drivers, not the Adobe drivers. They're CUPS 5, I think, and they work well for me.

http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/cups/windows/

Grab the 5.0rc3 files there, see if it makes any difference. I read in my Samba 3 manual that the Adobe PS drivers have been known to cause issues and the such sometimes.

OK, I downloaded and installed the drivers. I copied the cups5.hlp cupsdrv5.dll and the cupsui5.dll files to the /usr/shares/cups/drivers directory. I performed a /etc/init.d/cupsys restart just in case. I performed a sudo cupsaddsmb -a -v to load the new drivers. The drivers did not get copied over to the /etc/samba/drivers/W32X86/3/ directory, so I manually copied them over there. Then I added the printer to my Win XP client. tried printing a test page, and the same problem occured. I tryed removing the ps* files from the samba drivers directory and re-adding the printer to the Win XP client. The same problem occurred, and even thought the ps* files were not available for the client to download, the part of the test page that did print indicated that the ps* files were indeed being used to print.

So now that I have the cups5 drivers, what do I need to do to get them working?

As per the cupsaddsmb man page, these are the files I have in the /usr/share/cups/drivers/ directory

cups5.hlp
cupsdrv5.dll
cupsui5.dll
ps5ui.dll
pscript5.dll
pscript.hlp
pscript.ntf

Thanks for all you continued help.

Robert

P.S. What should the permissions be on these driver files? 700? 755?

Perms should be 744.

Take out the "5" in all the CUPS stuff, and the cupsdrv5.dll should be cupsdrvr.dll

This is the contents of my /etc/samba/drivers/W32X86/3/ folder, and all files their are owned by root with 744 perms.

cups.hlp
cupsdrvr.dll
cupsui.dll
ps5ui.dll
pscript5.dll
pscript.hlp
pscript.ntf

Still no love. The same problem persists. Do I need to just start over? Do I need to uninstall hplip and delete the printers from cups and then reinstall and readminister? Should I even be using the ps* files for Windows XP clients? Am I asking too many questions?

Once again, thanks for your patience and continued help.

Robert.

IIRC, the Samba 3 How-To guide suggests using the PS drivers for 9x/ME, and the CUPS drivers for all NT based machines.

If that doesn't work, I'm at a loss.

OK, well thanks a lot for all your suggestions. I am going to continue fiddling with this and if I find a solution, I will post to let you know what the problem was.

Thanks again,

Robert.

Finally found out what the problem was! After installing a few foomatic packages, the printer works just fine when getting a print request from a Windows XP machine. Here is the final version of my notes on the subject.

Download the postscript drivers installer from www.adobe.com. Make sure you have your .ppd file for your printer handy. Install the postscript drivers on your Windows XP machine. During install, select local printer installation, and even if your printer is a USB printer, select LPT1 when the wizard asks for a printer port. When you are asked for a printer to install, browse to your printer's .ppd file and select it. Once the drivers are installed, copy the following files from C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3\ to /usr/share/cups/drivers/

ps5ui.dll
pscript.hlp
pscript.ntf
